The gnome starts to chatter to the bat "Come on down here little fella. You'll be safe with ole Josea and we'll get you some grub. I want you safe and sound so come on down here."
The bats start fidgeting and take flight, though they make no aggressive moves. The marked bat squeaks at Josea, "This home. Home with mate. Not leave."
"Tell your mate to come too. All the bats in here are going to be killed. This home not safe. Come with me for a new home. I want you to live. Come wit me before its too late. All of you come with me and safety!" Josea holds up his arm offering a welcoming perch.
