As the adults checked on sleepy Mel, Lucy had an idea. She wandered over to her desk – a small, ash-colored piece of furniture with all of her papers and her typewriter stacked on the side. It was much neater in comparison with the mess underneath it.
A part of her wanted to sit down and do her homework; do something familiar. If only she could bring her typewriter with her. And her bed, and her clothes, and everything.
Was all this stuff real, or was it an exact copy of the real thing? Was it all going to disappear? It was confusing, for sure.
She dug around in a drawer and found what she wanted. A pile of special pins. They had little metal pieces on them, fastened together to look like toy crickets. They were messy and not the best craftsmanship. She had made them herself a couple months ago.
She cupped them in one hand, strode back to the group, and handed a cricket to each person.
The grownups – and Mel – held the crude pieces of jewelry as if they didn’t know what to do with them.
“They’re pins. You put them on your clothes. They’re gifts, because I think you are all… satisfactory,” she explained.

I looked down at the little object in my hand. It was shaped like an insect, maybe a cricket of some sort.
“They’re pins. You put them on your clothes.” Lucy explained. “They’re gifts, because I think you are all… satisfactory.”
I stared at it for a second, tryna figure out what she meant by that.
“Thanks,” I finally muttered, not knowin’ whether she heard me or not. I slipped off my slouch hat and pinned the little bug to the upturned left side of the brim, like the fancy gold pin on an Australis soldier’s garb. He looked good there, a cheery little metal bloke.
Soldier took his and bit down on it, apparently completely missin’ Lucy’s explanation, before decidin’ metal wasn’t good for his teeth and put it in his pocket instead. Huntress inspected hers also before showin’ it to me. “These are…pretty cool.” she admitted.
When Lucy looked over at me again, I pointed to my hat. “I think he likes it up ‘ere. Should I name him?”
Sniper being better with kids than his wife is sending me lol.
Gerald handled that. You don’t question Gerald. (if you know you know)
