black bats flying round and round

They're not really colors or really shapes, but Addy's tastes aren't really tastes, so Kerron thinks it's okay to call them like that anyway. Addy does too and they talk about colorshapes every week. He likes Addy. She has simple colorshapes that are easy to understand and he can help with lots of them. Other people have more complicated colorshapes but he's getting better at reading them while they fly through the air.

He's on his way back to the quarters he and Mummy and Daddy share, and he's just pushed open the door that usually leads to the right building in the Forks compound.

It doesn't.

Kerron has only opened this door twice before in this direction, but he sure remembers where it used to go. Probably Mummy or Her Majesty did a magic here. He wants to see what kind. He goes in and lets the door swing shut behind him.

"You should try really hard not to fall out of love with Daddy even though you could," Kerron tells his mummy sternly.

"I like being in love with your daddy," he says. "I don't wanna stop."

"Good," says Kerron contently, and then, because this magic lesson let out just before his bedtime, he flops onto the Joker's chest and snores.

The Joker picks Kerron up and puts him to bed.
