"I'm not even sure I shoulda done that. I feel a little band just handing him off to Pickles like some kinda problem for someone to deal with, as if it doesn't matter. Hey, Bren? Do you think it's really okay with him... with all you guys, actually... that I just come along and start calling you family and wandering in like this? You guys ain't like the roadies I grew up with. It feels a little weird doing this."
