Bee family. Cricket smiles a little to himself at the thought of that. If they weren't already coming up in front of Forrest, he'd remark on the topic. If he's sort-of adopting Hugh, he's also sort-of adopting his bees. They can talk about that later, though. The important thing now is getting things clear with Forrest.
Technically, Cricket is still a bit of a kid. He's nineteen, and while people can and do get married and have children at his age, he's not exactly wealthy, and he's not the healthiest person, either. But Hugh could do a hell of a lot worse, too, and Cricket knows that as well as anyone.
"You know what, I am a little hungry still," he agrees with a little smile. He already anticipated Forrest would offer to feed them. "Is Miss Maggie here, or...?"
Better if she isn't. He didn't see her car in the lot, so maybe she went to get something. Cricket nudges Hugh ahead of him gently, hoping the two hovering bees will follow him so they don't get shut outside. "Only, Hugh's a little bit different, sir, and I think you're the one I need to talk to about that before anyone else hears it."
That's trust, and respect. If anyone will know what to do to best protect the kid and his bees, it's Forrest.
