"It's not about if you hurt him or not. It's about being responsible. You're older, you have more experience. What you did was great but you know you're in danger, that you are dangerous, you can't bring people into it." He didn't think Bill was bad as a person, just a bit of a knob from the sounds of it. He just didn't want a boy like that to end up tangled in Barty and Torchwood bullshit. "I won't make decisions for you. You make your decisions but I advise that you make sure the boy is somewhere safe and leave him alone."

There. That was it. He held up his hands to show he was done discussing it and didn't want to fight over it. "That's my professional opinion."

He exhaled and shoved his hands back into his pockets, looking off in the other way. "So you saved him... what did you do to the people bashing him?"
