"You can keep in contact," she said. "Right? With your Narration? Livetha can help if you get tired." Stars. I'm bad at this. "So you and Cricket are close now?"
Beosta followed him.
"Well, yeah, but... that was after."
Bat petted his bird. Then, noticing Shoe, he looked away. @Ookla the Inconclusive
Lady Bug scowled. I never get any fun.
"Yeah, weird" She frowned. "Wanna go look?"
"Well... yeah," Bat admitted. "You're not that scary. But... but getting to know people is... really hard. And you were the one who came up to me, anyway."
"I... I know. But... I don't know if I can do that. Apologize to him." He looked down at his hands and said softly, "People are scary."
Beosta shrugged. "Looks like he and Bat are building a sandcastle or something."
Bat thought that Tam was much more deserving of it than Shoe was, personally.
There. That’s my workaround. It’s ‘not canon’.
She hugged him back.
Bat pet his bird.
“I hope so.”
“Okay. Yeah. —Sorry.” He flushed, embarrassed.
FREAKING GAH I HATE BAT WHY I WANNA TALKNABOUT HIS THOUFHTS AND WHY HE IS THIS WAY BUT I CANT AND ITS SO INCREDIBLU FRUSTRATING
