"I met get up to devilment sneakily. You don't ever know." Bayard grins even wider, handing over the box of earth. He beams with complete pride at it, not even in the presenting of the token but because of what it means, with the pride in his family and his homeland and the very territory that created him and the man he'll grow to be.

"I had it on me when they took me, I suppose. I always carry it, so I'll always know where I've come from. Ringo has one too, although he don't have earth in it so much as the badge we shot off a Yankee once, me and him. Your home ain't an object but it helps to have one to help you remember, right?"
