After a little while, he got out a scarf and made a little nest for her on his lap while he wrote some things out on his pad of paper and waited for her to wake up. 

Or for @TwinStorm to be on  

Yep

He said he'd be done at 8- so seven our time, I guess?

I guess I could mess with Bat and Rose in the meantime

hehehe

A snake slithered up to Rose.

Or Tam could wake up

Bat has something to say to her

She sighed and threw down her pen. "Really?" she said to the sky. "I know you're there. Why don't you go bother Bat or someone instead?"

Hehehe we collectively pushed out Thaid

It slithered right past her and up to Bat.

She's talking to whatever weird mystical god/narrator/whatever has a vendetta against her cuz too many coincidences  

I miss him too 

Bat yelped, grabbed Tam, and stood up so she was out of its reach. "Go away!"

The snake obediently turned towards Rose again.

Rose snorted at the ridiculousness of it all and stood, taking several steps away from Bat and Tam. "Here, snakey."

Bat yelped. 

Rose sighed and stepped on the snake's tail. "Why are you always so dramatic?" 

"I'm not!"

"Yes, you are." 

"No," he protested.

It turned around each time they said something, and ended up facing Bat again.

He carefully arranged Tam securely in one hand and grabbed his bag with the other, retreating toward the cabin.

It didn't change direction, though it couldn't move.

She frowned, then held a finger over her lips and gave Bat a significant look. 

He nodded and continued back toward the cabin.

Eventually, it stopped trying to get away and looked up at her pleadingly.

Suddenly she felt bad.

She looked around to make sure nobody was listening and muttered, "Don't hurt Bat." Then she carefully lifted her foot.

She actually has empathy? Crazy.

It looked at her gratefully, flicked its tongue a few times, and then slithered away into the bushes.

Thunder rumbled nearby.

"Alas," said Bacon, procuring also swirly hats with feathers in them, "I do not know French."

Bacon cocked his head. "... how does one beat a game? Does you mean he is about to defeat his opponent?"

No. Class will not start for another ten hours.

The wind chuckled. "You want the best, hmm? How much are you willing to pay?"

 

"Tull," said Onyx. "I have found you a quest."

I told you, she kept Bat from getting banished

She glanced at the sky. "Cricket," she called over to where he was. "Come on. We don't wanna get wet."

Oh right 

Rose sighed and went after him. Maybe she should have brought a jacket… water on her skin outside felt so STRANGE.

In Tam’s dream, she saw Spren as a little girl. She stared solemnly at Tam.

That’s good, as Rebus had begun to do other things. In addition to maintaining his other tasks and practice with his new sword, he decided to begin a new experiment. He channels power through Abstract, creating and seeking out scientists controlled by other Authors. Balitan (@NameIess) is among them. 

Rebus sensed Balitan's presence only faintly. He did not seem to want to appear.

Subversion groaned petulantly. "Can't we just fade out, then fade back in when it's time for the class? I can't stand all this waiting around."

"That depends," Malevolence narrowed his eyes at the wind. "on what manner of payment you require."

Unintelligible took a moment to process all that had happened between the the 'master of destruction' and Rebus. Then he turned to Sequence. "Alright, I don't think we're going to learn anything else by standing around in an abandoned burning castle. Ready to go invite the next threat out to tea?"

Tam was very confused, but it was a dream, so she ate a marshmallow.

“I’m real,” Spren said.

It was still a dream, so Tam wasn't particularly lucid.

"Okay," she said absently.
