(later)
Hater: (opens the door to his room) See something familiar?
(On his bed lay indeed a familiar object...green, floppy and showed its golden star on front)
Wander: [gasped in surprise] :O My hat! I thought u threw it away!
Hater: I'm not THAT mean. But yeah, just kept it in hiding...that's all. (rubs the back of his head and lets Wander down to the floor)
Wander: [quickly ran to the hat n hugged it tight, purring]
Hater: (smiling, that Wander was happy to see his hat again) ... (comes over and sits on the bed, fiddling with his hands)
Wander: [looked up at him n smiled, sat nxt to him n nuzzled] Thanks for not throwing it away. It's very important to me. The hat is basically my first friend in my travels before I met Syl
Hater: You've had it for a long time, huh?
Wander: Ever since I was born, reli. It used to belong to my great grandpa who's also a wanderer like me. Pops didn't get his wandering genes, bt he kept it after inheriting frm Grandpa for sentimental reasons. I always talk to it n play with it until I was old enough to inherit it. It is like the brother I never had. I'm the only boy in a litter of pure girls, bt just my luck to be intersex, u see
Hater: I see... So, it's rare for your kind to be...having both parts? (slightly flushing)
Wander: A little rare, bt not unheard of. Happens once every 10 generations
Hater: (nods in understanding) Um... I might've actually tried using the hat a few times but it does not like me apperently. ^^;;
Wander: Maybe it's coz of wat u do to me. We hv a special bond, so it roughly knws wat happened to me n wat u did. Bt don't worry, in time, it'll learn to trust u like I will...eventually. Right, Hatty?
Hat: [looks as if it has a distrustful frown at Hater]
Hater: Well...hopefully. (looks away again)
Wander: [puts the hat on] Ahh, much better. I'm hungry. Let's go see wat they're serving at the cafeteria, Hatty [got off n made his way out the room]
Hater: (watches Wander leave) ...(sighs, slightly gripping at his chest) :(...
