#ask 25

((I've had this ask in my inbox basically since this blog's very early days...only took me nearly two years to answer it. Sorry Anon, but you do get a tiny bit of Larva backstory/lore for it! XD

Logan blinks in surprise at Patton suddenly interrupting him, but gathers himself quickly and does the same. With the ability to see beyond the wagon, Logan also scans the forest in the direction Thomas had pointed out as well. 

Dee appeared vaguely interested, but was listening all the same.

When they all fell silent, it took a moments for each of them, but you slowly hear the distant sound of running water fade up into the overall ambiance of the forest.

Logan sits back slightly as he gets tiny glimpses of a glistening line of water snaking it’s way beside the road. As they traveled down the road, the river wavered in and out of sight as it never traveled in a truly straight line.

“Oh... we’re closer than even I thought. We’re nearly there already.”

Dee finally spoke up, his eyes actually widened in slight surprise.

“Already? Wow. I didn’t think we were that close.”

Logan moved his head so that he looked back at Dee with one eye, they share a quick glance that turns Dee’s cheeks the slight bit gray. 

“Well, the river means we’re just that much closer to where we’re going! And that’s good.”

Dee coughed as he began to carefully make his way up to Logan at the front.

“Yeah, it’s good.”

A smile begins to grow on Thomas face and he lets out a big breath of air.

“I’m just glad you heard it too!  When you looked at me like that I thought I was going crazy or something!”

Patton lightly grasps Thomas’s arm, his brows drawing together.

“You’re not crazy! You can tell us anything you notice that we don’t. We won’t call you crazy, I promise.”

“I don’t promise that.” Dee called up from the front and Thomas didn’t even have to be in view of Dee’s smirk to hear his smirk.

“Hardy har. Neither will I for you Mr. Grumpy Pants.” Thomas snarks back.

“Oh how inventive, truly inspired a nickname.” Dee drawls, still refusing to turn around.

“No one here is going to call themselves or anyone crazy here and that’s final.” Patton cries, pulling at Thomas’s hand even as Thomas stared at Dee’s back.

“Okay Dad.” Thomas slapped his hand over his mouth, glancing at Patton hurriedly. “Is it okay to call you that? I- You just seem so much like one right now-”

Patton instantly softens and brightens, his hand shifting to hold Thomas’s one hand gently in both of his. His eyes are sparkling even in the slightly dimmer light in the wagon.

“Of course! You can call me whatever you want!”

Before Thomas can respond again, Logan and Dee’s voices carry back from the front of the wagon.

“Oh wow...”

“There it is...”

Both Thomas and Patton turn to see the distinct shape of a bridge over a rushing river. The bridge looked empty, the road ahead of them clear as far as the eye could see.

They were finally at Unicorn Run.
