“Maybe wait just a bit to let Traci know. From what I know about her, her emotions are a little more... Extreme. How about... We go do something? If Traci’s off with somebody else, how about us three go do something we we can learn more about each other? Well, more like so you guys can learn more about me. I know plenty about you guys from dad.”

Panta quickly nods in agreement, loving the idea of getting out of the house and spending time with both Jamie and Bedlam. "Sounds great!" Bedlam smiled at Panta's excitement, seeing her smile helped him keep back the more sad thoughts about the recent death. "Well, if she's into it then so am I. Not sure what Grant told you, but I bet this'll still be a learning experience for all of us. Hearing about someone and actually meeting them are very different."
-
“Exactly! Just... I’ll be real with you guys for a second. How I do things is probably a lot different than how Grant did. But I don’t want you to be afraid to come to me if some sh- crap goes down, alright?” [b]Jamie gets an empathetic look on her face.[/b]
-
"We won't be afraid to, Jamie. You're a very likable and friendly person after all." Bedlam replied, giving Jamie a friendly smile. "Yeah, you're like a big sister!" Panta added.
-
“Panta, that’s exactly what I am. Oldest of the bunch here, I’m pretty sure. But... I have a question. Bedlam, did Grant ever straight-up adopt you or did it just kinda happen? He never told me.”
-
He sighed at the question. "Technically he never really adopted me, no. Who cares if there are legal papers though? We're still family."
-
“I was just wondering if you were actually under his name or not. He has a habit of not filling out papers, you see.” [b]Jamie looks down at her radio, like she expects someone to contact her.[/b] “He was always really forgetful. But that just comes with old age.”

Edited by Stitch: 12/14/2017 3:57:17 AM"Yeah, I guess so." Bedlam shrugged. "Let's get going, eh?" "What about the cupcakes?" "Oh, right. Jamie, I-" "WE." "We baked some cupcakes for all of us to eat to celebrate your arrival."
-
“Oh, really? Thanks, guys! Can’t wait to finally actually get to know you guys! It’s been a real long time since I’ve see anybody from my family at all, let alone a sister and a brother! I can tell we are going to get along juuuuust fine. Can you guys help me get my stuff before we head out, though? It’s all loaded on the truck outside.”
-
"Yeah." "Yeah!" The two said simultaneously, Panta having a bit more enthusiasm.
-
“Alright, nice! Lead the way to the cupcakes, though. That first. Mostly because I haven’t had anything not from a can for almost a year.”
-
The two kids chuckled before leading Jamie into the kitchen where a plate of chocolate and vanilla cupcakes waited for them. "They should be good, but considering Panta helped...eh..." "Hey!"
-
“Heh. Bedlam, probably not the best idea to insult her cooking. She’ll probably take over cooking when she gets older, so night just wanna support her instead.” [b]Jamie picks up one of the cupcakes. She examines it, and after she’s sure there’s no razors or obvious poisons, she takes a bite.[/b]
-
"Her? Take over cooking? She'll burn the house down." "Would no-" "Really hope her girlfriend learns to cook for her." "Mean." Panta crossed her arms and stuck her tongue out at Bedlam. He just started laughing and shortly after Panta giggled, obviously not actually feeling insulted.
-
“Did I just hear right? Does my lil sis have a girlfriend and nobody told me?” [b]Jamie walks over to Panta again now, setting her cupcake on the table and picking up Panta.[/b] “Who’s the lucky lil lady?” [b]Jamie had picked her up like one would a baby, a hand under each armpit.[/b]
-
Panta glared at Jamie as Bedlam laughed uncontrollably, having to hold onto the counter to stop from falling down. "Reagan. Now, will you put me down?...This is embarrassing." "You mean adorable." "Oh shut up!"
-
“I think imma hold you here for a bit... Bedlam, take a picture. We’ll show her girlfriend. It’ll be fun.” [b]Jamie smiled at Panta, just messing around with her.[/b]
-
Panta's face got red and her eyes widened as she panicked. "N-No! No!" Bedlam took out his phone and pointed the camera at Panta with a smirk. "Stay still, Panta, you're going to make the picture blurry!" "H-Hey! Stop! I'll do anything, just let go!"
-
[b]Jamie suddenly pulls her into a hug, smiling get again.[/b] “Heh. Don’t worry. I wouldn’t actually embarrass you like that. Bedlam, if you took a picture delete it, okay?”
-
"I'd hope not..." Panta muttered hugging back with a grin. Bedlam put his phone away and shook his head. "Nah, I didn't take a picture. I'm not that mean."
-
“I figured you didn’t. Panta, if I’m ever picking on you or something, I’m not trying to be mean, okay? Just joking around. If I ever take it to far, just tell me. You got that?”
-
Panta shrugged and giggled a little as she released the hug. "Bedlam teases me a lot so I'm used to it. Don't expect me not to get you back later though."
-
“Heh. You can try, little lady. I was in the NCR and the Fiends, nothing slips past me. Unless you use magic. But that’s just cheating, really.”
-
"I don't have magic..." Panta sighed, but Bedlam quickly patted the small girl's head. "It just makes you lazy really."
-
“I know you can’t use magic. I was saying don’t let Bedlam help you. That’s just cheating. I know he can do pretty much whatever.”
-
"Yeah, I can have a lot of fun..." "Covering my floor in spiders was not fun!" "Fun for me."
