“IRIE??”

He did, even though he didn’t want to. Maybe he’d been wrong. Maybe she was just doing Narrator-y things and he’d completely misunderstood her. Maybe he really was on another level of intelligence.

She stirred slightly.

Bat, what are you talking about!? she cried, looking up into his eyes.

She grabbed the sides of his head.

Bat, look, just focus on me. Not that. Focus on me, please . . .

"Yup. Squirrels. I once made the mistake of falling asleep in a tree- apparently the locals find me quite nice to sleep on," he chuckled.

"I'm sure they did- I was actually kinda reluctant to wake them up, actually. So I stayed there for even longer than I'd meant to."

“It’s peaceful here. My trial was just like yours - we can stay here together. Wasn’t that what you wanted us to do?” 
Rebus grinned. “That’s not all…” He walked to the edge of the skyscraper, steps springy in the slightly lower gravity, and stepped off.
But he didn’t fall - a platform had coalesced beneath his feet. “Here, try it - the utility fog anticipates your needs, though verbal or set commands are needed for more complicated things. It’s nothing to a Narrator, of course, but it can form or manufacture pretty much anything, and anyone can command it.” 

“I… Cricket, I don’t understand.”

- 

Symbol followed, stepping off. “That’s quite fascinating.”

She tried Narrating a bird into the sky, just to see what would happen.

He shook her, making a hasty retreat.

He pulled away. “No. Stop. You’re just playing with me.”

She grabbed for his arms, jolting awake.

"Huh-uh?" she said groggily.

I'm not playing with you! she cried desperately, grabbing his wrists. Why would you think that!? Bat, I'm trying to help you!

He sighed and resigned himself to boredom. 

“You just want me to tell you.” He didn’t fight her, but his face was hard. “I won’t. I’ll play your little Narrator game, because apparently you need me to. But you’ll get nothing out of me.”

She stared at him.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

I don't understand! W-why are you acting like this?
