"𝐋𝐢𝐥𝐬, 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞-" Billy cut himself off as he saw her sitting on the couch, the lamp being the only thing brightening the room as she hugged her knees and stared at the carpet.
"Hey, are you ok?"
"To be honest, not really. Those kids died. Did we do something wrong?" She asked him as a tear fell down her face.
"No. No, we didn't do anything wrong. We just weren't expecting anything that happened, it was all so... Sudden? I... Look, Lily, we can't change what happened. But if you want, why don't you go check up on Forager, and Brion and Halo too. Think that'll make you feel better?"
"Yeah. Yeah that sounds good. Thanks, Billy." She gave him a tired smile as he hugged her, pulling her down as they laid on the couch.
"Why don't we just stay like this for a little while?"
"Billy, people invented beds for a reason." He thought about what she said for a second before replying.
"Oh, is there something specific you're implying in that statement?" He asked with a sly smirk, Lily realized what he meant and lightly hitting his arm.
"Billy!" She yelled, making him laugh as he got up. She let out a yelp as he picked her up bridal style.
"C'mon. Let's go to bed. It's almost midnight anyways." He laid her down before climbing into bed himself, wrapping his arm around her waist, "Goodnight."
"Goodnight, Billy. I love you." She kissed him before laying her head on his chest.
"I love you too."

"But how will Forager speak to them? Forager does not speak human language. Oh..." He made a clicking noise, "And Motherbox is not here to translate Forager's words."
"I downloaded our language into your brain." M'gann explained to him.
"Miss Martian taught Miss Martian's language to Forager?"
"Everything but the pronouns, apparently." Lily elbowed him in the arm at his comment.
"His people have an extremely complex sense of self. They don't have much use for pronouns." M'gann told him.
"Have your tried these?" Halo asked as she offered an apple.
"They're called apples." Brion told her.
"I know! They're incredible. And they grow on trees!" Halo responded energetically.
"Halo, Brion, this is Forager. He's from New Genesis." Lily introduced as Halo walked up to the bug.
