 "Tam Song?" Biana mused. "I think I've heard of your family before." Tam shook his silvery bangs off his eyes.

 "Have you?" Tam muttered. 

"What exactly are you doing here anyways?" Fitz demanded.

"Admiring your lovely house of course," Tam answered, sarcasm dripping off every word. "Your house sounded so beautiful from all the stories, we had to come see it for ourselves."

"You're kidding right?" Biana asked.

"Of course I'm kidding! What kind of idiot would break into a house just to admire it?" Tam shot back. Biana looked hurt, and Tam seemed to soften. He opened his mouth to speak but Keefe cut him off.

"An idiot like you," Keefe snorted before Tam could say anything. 

"What were you guys doing then?" Sophie piped up. Tam switched his gaze to Sophie, and his eyes seemed to pierce into hers.

"We were trying to figure out what we could sell," Tam said.

"Tam's lying. It was my fault I-"

"Keep quiet Linh," Tam growled. Linh snapped her mouth shut, looking apologetic.

"We're not exactly in a great circumstance here," Linh said softly.

"What do you mean?" Biana questioned. Tam shot Linh a glare, but Linh just sighed.

"We kind of ran away, so we don't have anywhere to live," Linh shrugged.

"So you're hobos?" Keefe asked. Biana gave him a sharp elbow. "Ow! Watch it!"

"I prefer the term homeless," Tam replied. 

"Maybe we could help you," Fitz offered. Tam narrowed his eyes and looked at him up and down.

"No we're fine.  Linh and I will be on our way," Tam said. He stood up and pulled his sister up.

"Tam, think about it. They're offering help and we're just turning this opportunity away," Linh looked at Tam, her eyes wide and begging.

"Fine. What are you offering?" Tam said hesitantly. 

"You can stay in our house, if you would like," Biana said. Tam blinked.

"We can stay in your million dollar house?" Tam drawled. "But you don't even know me!"

"Bangs Boy makes a good point," Keefe agreed. Tam scowled fiercely and Keefe smirked back.

"Um, Tam and I agree! We'll stay at your house," Linh said quickly. She gave an endearing smile and elbowed her brother.

"Fine, fine," Tam grumbled. "On one condition. Nothing will happen to my sister, otherwise something will happen to you."

"Deal," Keefe replied.

"Keefe you don't even live here," Fitz pointed out.

"It would be nice to," Keefe muttered under his breath.

"Deal,"  Biana said quickly, and held out her hand. Tam stood there for a second, and shook it. He smiled shyly and pulled his hand back.

"We've got a home now," Linh said quietly.
