Or a concealed firearm

Nah, they’re still against guns, which is cute, considering they’re in Texas.

Cricket, meanwhile, was fast asleep.

So much for talking to Tam

She looked at Bat.

"I'll take that as a yes."

She took them all to a small cottage in the middle of some woods somewhere.

There were a couple different rooms with beds in them.

OH MY GOSH YOU ARE?!?!

I LIKE YOU TEN TIMES MORE NOW :D

Bat picked one, messed up the bed so everyone knew it was his, and went back out to the main room. 

“I’m gonna go for a walk,” he told Tam, who was at the chair.

SO REAL

they all claim they love California more but...

we know they love the culture

He sighed, collapsing in the bed of the first one.

"Thank you." Malevolence shook his head in disgust. "They were so... pathetic. Getting them to go along with my plan was too easy really. I could have led them right into betrayal if I'd wanted."

They don't get to be southern until they at least start correctly pronouncing the word southern.

“People are quite moldeable,” she agreed. “You did well.”

I know

She smiled and pulled up a chair by a window in the kitchen. She wasn't really tired.

“I’m gonna go for a walk,” he told Tam, who was at the chair. 

She nodded. "See you in a few minutes- shoot, I forgot Rose."

A portal opened in the air and Rose came tumbling through it.

"There are a couple rooms in the back for you to pick from."

nah 

some of them are actually becoming redneck

they start when they start carrying around knives regularly 

I have nothing against northerners becoming southern, they just have to admit that suthern is the correct pronunciation before I'll see them as southern.

No offense taken

Rose said a couple nonsense words that didn’t make sense, then sighed. “Thanks for remembering me. So… are we ever gonna figure out my people, or…”

Bat left through the front door and strolled out through the quiet, shady woods. Birds chirped, squirrels scurried away, and… 

Nothing attacked him. Just a boy and his bird, walking in the woods. 

Man, technically. But he didn’t feel like a man. He felt less like one than he ever had.

He found a quiet area and sat down on a tree root. 

Then he let the thoughts tumble through his head. Yay Cricket beat Malan! Good good. Cricket would be happy now, right? And so Tam and Bat and Cricket would all be happy together… unless they didn’t want him around. He had to get back to something, anyway. 

Scud, he'd forgotten about Gaioh! Guilt swarmed him like bees, and he almost lifted his hand to swat them away. He didn’t know him very well, but Bat hoped he was okay. He better be okay. He couldn’t just abandon him like that. 

He stood up to go tell Tam and ask her to—

Aw, rax, Tam, he remembered. He collapsed again, dropping his head into his hands. He couldn’t confront Tam now, not after… what he thought he’d thought. He had to think about this rationally and think it through and think it away for good before it ruined anything. 

He took a deep breath. What else did he need to think about? Pulling out a pen and pad of paper, he started to jot things down. 

Gaioh

Tam

He paused, tapping the pencil.

Tattoos 

Nullite powers

They did seem to be linked somehow, though… he added an arrow.

Back home

Family

His pen hovered over the paper. Something told him not to write the next words. 

So he didn’t. He left the most important word unwritten.

She summoned a little block of wood and a whittling knife.

"You should go get some rest."

I'd be fine with that, unless Rose wants to say smth
