she cocked her head. "Example of what?"

Pyk put an arm around Asher. “Like this?” He said this playfully.

“I believe my curiosity is enough sated for now. Thank you.” She paused. “And no, I don’t recall, to be quite frank.”

“It’s difficult to get noticed as a villain if you conceal all evidence of it, you see. That’s why I’m attacking and not simply building up more resources.” They were flying fast, now, trees flashing past below them. A hologram displayed a scan of the area, presumably for plausible deniability. Rebus, considering the previous conversation over, left silence for Symbol to choose a new topic.

“But… they’d probably come after Bat. And I don’t wanna cause him any problems.”

"Bat can defend himself. Besides, he has Tam. And... it's his own fault that you would leave in the first place."

But they're not "entertained" by you. They love you, and they missed you while you were gone, remember?

Yeah... I guess they just want me to be happy. 

He felt a little bit warm thinking that. 

But....... I dunno. I still feel small.

EXACTLY.

Well, I don't know what to tell you! I can't just stop being sad!

She thought on that for a minute. 

"So tell me more about humans. Why do they stay near each other if not to enhance their mutual power?"

"Away. Just us. The cottage would work, or we could just move around. The Thread is a big place, Rose, and we don't have to stay anywhere."

She sighed.

Yeah. I-I know the feeling.

She hopped up onto the bed again.

More than just literally, I mean.

A shiver of possibility ran up her spine. There was something strangely appealing about that. 

"And we could... we could help people, too, when we find them."

I mean . . . physically, yeah. But emotionally? Not at all.

Well..... what is it you want, then? What would make you feel bigger?

He put the pillows aside and gave her some cuddles.

She snuggled up against him happily and closed her eyes again.

Me? Um . . . probably just . . . adventuring, having fun, being with you.

She snuggled up against him a little more.

Y'know, stuff like that.

Being with me? 

For some reason, that was all his mind fixated on. 

Adventuring is good and fun and yeah fun things yeah.

Hehe

That's adorable

Yep! What about you? Do you know what makes you feel bigger?

...I don't know. When people care about me, I guess... maybe a lot of the same things. 

So... is that what we wanna do, then? Go adventuring and maybe save people sometimes? And if so, can we visit my family?

She smiled.

I do wanna go see that lake, actually. But yeah, adventuring and saving people sounds fun, too! she giggled.

And yeah, totally! I like your family- we should visit them every so often.

Maybe even live here on the weekends, he said hopefully. And he sat up. 

Let's go see that lake, then!

Yes! she exclaimed happily.

She licked his cheek once for good measure, then hopped onto the floor.

Aw... can I carry you? He stood up.

I would love that, but wouldn't your family get suspicious if they saw you leave with a stoat and I was nowhere to be found?

Aw... I guess you have a point. 

He grabbed his bag off his desk, hesitated, and grabbed a stovepipe hat from the closet. Don't mock me. I've missed this hat.

She turned back into her regular, grinning self.

Fancy.

He blushed and put the hat on. Thanks. 

They walked out into the main room. Snow hugged her knees as soon as he saw her, abandoning his game he was playing with Fly with tiny little horses.

Tam picked him up and hugged him right back.

"See you later, Snow!" she said cheerfully.
