She rested her head on him, grateful.

Because  . . . of what happened with the Ennullers. Well, the one . . . but still.

oh man  it's all good

“Because you were helpless for a long time,” Lady Bug interpreted.

Bat squeezed her.

I'll just get that . . .

She nodded and winced.

He sighed. “You’re mean.”

She shrugged. “No.”

-

Me neither. We should find somewhere to stay, though. “No, thanks. We’re okay.”

The girl looked disappointed. “Are you sure? My dad owns a bed and breakfast…”

She just chuckled, grabbed his ankles, and started dragging him away.

-

"Oh. Well . . . do you know what you like to read?"

-

. . . Oh. Well . . . that's a little different, I guess.

He shrugged. What do you think?

"And you?" She asked Bat. 

He hesitated. "I... I don't know... losing Tam." 

She pursed her lips, clearly dissatisfied. She turned to Tam for clarification.

He squeaked and grabbed onto the leg of a seat. 

-

She shook her head. 

-

...I dunno, she hedged. I guess we can go see how it looks...

She pulled harder.

"Oh. Well . . . hmm . . ."

She pulled the sopping wet firearm magazine (STILL PAPER) out of her belt and held it out.

"Eh?"

-

He shrugged.

It's definitely less suspicious if it's a legit place to stay.

-

Spoiler

She was a little confused about what Lady Bug wanted clarification on.

He didn't let go. He kicked at her.

She blinked, then hesitantly took it. 

-

Agreed. 

The girl waited nervously.

She sighed. "What do you think he's afraid of?"

It was soaked with water, but some of the pages were still readable.

Eh, why not? Let's go check it out.

-

Spoiler

That's a completely different question, Lady Bug. Anyway . . . um . . . yeah, losing people he cares about, probably.

She squeezed his hand.

Right? I can't think of anything else right now . . .

He scrambled to his feet and ran away.

She did her best to read it to be polite. 

-

"Sure," Beosta told the girl. She beamed and led them down a nice street with nice streetlights to a nice inn. 

-

Spoiler

"And... and that it'll be my fault," Bat mumbled. 

Lady Bug nodded. "And why is that?" 

"Huh?"

"Why are you afraid of that?" She asked impatiently. 

"I... I guess cuz I break stuff... I don't know."

She cried out and chased after him.

"What do you think?" Irie asked after a minute.

-

. . . Seems nice.

She hugged Bat tightly.

. . . Anyway. What about you, Lady Bug? Is there anything you're afraid of?

He ran into a closet and slammed it.

She shrugged. "It's soggy." 

-

Beosta said that. 

"Thanks," the girl said. It was a very London-y little place. 

-

Spoiler

Bat hugged her back and looked away, feeling ashamed. 

"Being powerless, remember?" She said.

She banged on the door.

"HEY!"

Irie paused, then snorted.

"Ah, that's my bad," she laughed. "Or Aden's, I guess. Sorry."

-

Cute. Seems safe enough.

He squeezed her hand and started towards the entrance.

Spoiler

Okay, yeah, but is there anything else?

He snickered at her. "Might as well give up." 

-

She laughed sheepishly. "It's okay. It was cool." 

-

She followed, resting her free hand on her sword. 

Inside, the inn was somewhat cramped, but very cozy.

She shook her head. "I don't believe so."

She grumbled something and grabbed a chair, then wedged it between the floor and the doorknob.

She grinned and waited.

She chuckled.

"Thanks."

He looked around.

Oh, this is nice.

Alright. What kind of backstory are you thinking, then?

Where's Heir been, btw? Do you know?

It took a while, but eventually the noises of outrage began.

Five smiled and looked down at her hands. 

-

Beosta nodded her agreement. 

“How much?” She asked. 

“Oh, free for the first night for travelers,” the inkeeper told them. 

-

Spoiler

“Symbol, like me, has a natural fear of being powerless. I figured we could play on that, as well as tack on some others. Fear of betrayal, perhaps. Abandonment.”

No… 

Hope he’s okay

She snicked and went to go find Five.

-

Irie tilted her head.

"What is it?"

-

Really? Huh. That's convenient.

-

Spoiler

Alright . . . hmm . . .

She thought for a moment.

Abandonment could be a good place to start. By close friends, maybe? Family wouldn't make a lot of sense. A fear of being alone.

Yeah . . .

@Dragonheir, you okay?

Five shrugged. “I… kinda want a hug,” she whispered.

The girl offered to show them to their rooms.

“It could. All I’d have to do is convince her somehow that I didn’t create her— I wiped her clean.”

Irie regarded her sadly

"Oh . . . I can give you one, if you want," she offered.

-

Shoe nodded gratefully.

This doesn't seem too bad, he remarked to Beosta.

-

Spoiler

That . . . might not be that difficult. I lost most of my previous memories when I became a Narrator. It just happens to characters who become Narrators.

The woman took them to their rooms. Beosta still didn’t trust the place, though, and she was hesitant to leave Shoe.

Shoe felt the same.

We could share a room, if you want. I'm sure they have one with two beds.
