It was Forrest's nightmare to somehow pick up a nickname based on their present location, given his name, but he had a feeling that whatever Cassidy picked, he would somehow find it endearing, might even like it. The truth in that remained to be seen, but he could hope that would be his feelings towards it.

"Texas... I've been a time or two, mostly visiting my dad's friends who moved there." He hummed softly and kicked a rock across the muddy dunes, sighing a touch. He winced slightly at just the thought of his father and how the news was handled "My mom left when I was just a baby, so... Even if I could tell her, or even if she knew from listening, I doubt she cares..." He looked down at the tips of his muddy boots as they headed on "My dad took it pretty hard... One could imagine why. He raised me my entire life, it's always just been him and I, and now... here I am, doing this whilst he's stuck at home." Hand ran through his slicked hair and he shook it again; he desperately needed a haircut but it wasn't going to happen anytime soon "If he could have, he would have taken my place... I know that much."
