Tears of The Rose-Chp14

Peepers: [once on the docks, started barking orders to medics] Get tht furball to the med bay ASAP! I want full examination n full disclosure of results wen ur done! Go, go, go!

Medics: Yes, sir!

Sylvia: They better know what they're doing... (also worried for her friend)

Peepers: They should. They're the best medical team in the entire home planet of ours [followed behind the medics until outside the med bay entrance n waited at the lobby]

Hater: (also waited in the lobby, sitting in one of the waiting chairs)

Peepers: [after a short silence] So, the gorge, huh? How did u manage to find him there, sir?

Hater: Found him wounded and bleeding... had to fight off a huge centipede dragon beast thing.

Peepers: Yeah, bt wat I mean is HOW? U don't hv a tracking device or anything, since it was on the hat in the first plc. How did u find him?

Hater: ...The hat helped me out.

Peepers: [blinked] The hat? Reli?

Hater: Yes, really. All I had to do was talk with it and it directed me to where Wander was. I guess, like him, it forgave me too.

Peepers: Wait, lemme get this straight. U mean tht hat is sentient somehow? How does tht evn work? [turns to Sylvia] Is he for real?

Sylvia: Yes, the hat has done a lot of things for me and Wander. Mostly Wander, cause it seems to not like me so much. >> (recalling that one time)

Peepers: Huh. Tho it makes me wonder why that furball is at the gorge in the first plc...

Sylvia: Maybe fell down there?

Hater: Or that monster grabbed him and tried to devour him... (cringes at the thought of that)

Peepers: Either way, I guess there's nothing to do bt wait for the doc's results

Sylvia: Yeah...

Hater: (looks down at his hands)

Peepers: [another awkward silence later] ....So, ur in love with the furball, huh? Wen exactly were u gonna tell me tht, sir?

Hater: >> You'd make me deny it as some stupid crush, that's why I didn't say anything about it...

Peepers: [frowned] Yeah, yeah, maybe, bt still, of all ppl? That furball?

Sylvia: Well, you can't exactly choose who you fall for, it's just something that happens.

Hater: Sounds about right.

Peepers: So ur just gonna ignore MY feelings n fraternize with the enemy?! After all I've done for u, after YEARS of pining for u--!! [covered his mouth in horror n embarrassment]

Hater: (blinks) Wait, what?

Sylvia: .3. Oh boy...

Peepers: [tries to change the subject] Forget it! U didnt hear anything! [saved by the doc's presence] Ah! Abt time! How's the furball's situation?

Doc: Well, he's got a broken right leg n a couple of bruised ribs, a sprained left wrist n got a nasty deep cut on his head tht needed stitches, bt other than tht, he's one tough sucker

Sylvia: That's good.

Hater: (sighs in relief)

Peepers: Good. Well, I gtg...chk on things... [quickly made a run for it]

Doc: U can go see him if u want, Lord Hater sir

Hater: (nod) (goes in slowly, seeing Wander still resting) :(...
