She lapped at his tear with her skinny lil tongue. 

“Just a snake,” she said. “Stop sadding.”

"I'm sorry." he whispered. He burned the snake's body to ashes so as not to leave it and stood. 

"Please. Bring me to the other dragons. I need to ask them something.*

He was sitting on his bed, sketching in his notebook. They were very basic sketches, and looked similar in style to his tattoos. 

He was also worried about her, but she likely couldn’t tell. 

She let out a relieved sigh.

He was fine, for now. That was good.

She rested her head against the wall of the shower, trying to recreate that relaxing, peaceful feeling she'd had earlier. She didn't find it, but she didn't feel so stressed now, either.

She checked in on Bat every few minutes until she was done, got out and got dressed, and walked into the hallway. She actually felt pretty refreshed, despite the panic a few minutes earlier.

She poked her head in and rapped on the open door a couple times.

“Like in books,” she agreed. “Where every character basically thinks the same way. You can tell, even beneath everything the author tries to do, that they’re all variations of the writer. Why can’t we be like that, huh?”

*awkward cough*

He winced slightly. She was closer to the truth about Authors then he'd realized. "Yeah." he agreed, staring upwards. "I wish we could all be similar enough to just fit."

She looked over at him, hands laced behind her head. “So… doesn’t really sound like you’re mad at me anymore.”

“Okie.” She pointed in one direction.

Bat had been incredibly glad to hear the water shut off, and more glad when she appeared. 

“Hey! Come in. I was just designing some new tattoos!”

"I haven't been mad at you for a while. You're a great person, it just doesn't show at first. You could work on your first impressions."

“How was it?” He asked, spreading out the tiny papers in front of him. They contained various designs, with several featuring crickets and muffins.

After a little while, Eepy staying rather silent, they came to a place where the trees were enormous. 

It didn’t’ show, though, since the ground dipped  roght where they were planted, making them appear to be on the same level of all the regular trees.

She made a face. “I know first impressions and I’m sick of them. Anyone you need to make an impression on isn’t worth the trouble to get to know, so there.”

Awwwww

She shrugged and smiled. It had been really nice.

Then she pointed to the muffins and crickets, grinning and raising an eyebrow.

He grinned. “I actually have something to put in my tattoos now. Besides flying rodents.” 

Then he cocked his head. “What’s your name again?”

Her smile fell immediately, and she stared at him in shock and horror.

Was he joking? He seemed to be serious- oh gosh, what if something had happened while she was in the shower?! Why had she left him alone?!

She summoned a machine in her hand to check what was wrong.

He grabbed her wrist. “Woah, woah, Tam— sorry, I just haven’t heard your voice for a while… you okay?”

Well, that was a relief.

She released a shaky breath and got rid of the machine, then shrugged.

How about like this? He tried.

She shrugged again, looking at the floor.

. . . It . . . it feels wrong, she said slowly.

He frowned at his designs. This was worse than he thought.

He took her hand and squeezed it. Just let me know when you’re ready to try and work through it, okay?

She winced, but . . . he wasn't trying to make her talk about it, at least.

She nodded and squeezed his hand back, still looking at the drawings.

Do you have any suggestions?

[Through The Living Glass She/They]

She thought for a moment, then picked up the sketchbook and pencil. Then she drew a heart.

It was very basic, without embellishments of any kind. She showed it to him and smiled.

He felt himself blush. “Oh, that’s… that could work, actually…”

"I... guess so. But, still, it doesn't hurt to try."

heheh . . .

She cocked her head.

No . . . my . . . Tam means "heart."

Then she gestured to the crickets and the muffins and shrugged.

It seemed to fit with the theme, was all.
