Instead, Teddy reaches up to stroke Billy's jawbone, where his teeth are clenched, the backs of his fingers caressing away from the center of the body in a gentle, deliberate fashion.]
Hey... it'll be fine. [He lifts his hands away to continue the treatment, this time on the sides of Billy's neck, thumbs still stroking his jaw.] Relax. It's easier if you're not all tensed up for it.
