[meanwhile Peepers was at the skyliner room, lounging on the couch, sipping a drink while staring at the stars in space]
Sylvia: (just happened to enter) ... (notices Peepers) Hey, Pipsqueak.
Peepers: [noticed her as well] Oh hey, zbornak [sipped his drink, continued staring at space, literally]
Sylvia: (sits next to him) Glad to see you're doing better.
Peepers: U could say tht [gestured her at the bottle of sparkling wine he was drinking] Want some?
Sylvia: (thinks for a moment)... Sure.
Peepers: [grabbed an empty glass frm the bar at the corner of the skyliner room n poured her some wine] Here ya go [handed it to her]
Sylvia: (takes it) Thanks.
Peepers: [sipped a bit more] ....I talked to Lord Hater just now
Sylvia: And how do you feel about it now?
Peepers: Surprisingly liberating, sorta. I mean, it still hurts a little, bt not as bad now. I told him I still love him, bt tht it was time for me to let go, tht we're prolly not meant to be n be better off as friends. Besides, now tht Wander's pregnant, I dont wanna be evn more of a home wrecker
Sylvia: Good for you. And hey, there's always someone for somebody. (had wrapped her tail around the watchdog)
Peepers: [didnt reli notice the wrap as he was deep in thought] ....Do u knw why I love Lord Hater in the first plc?
Sylvia: Amuse me. :P
Peepers: Its gonna be a bit of a long story tho. U up for it?
Sylvia: Sure, I don't have anything else going on.
Peepers: [takes a deep breath] Well, all the Watchdogs n I originally come frm the Planet Occulus. We were peace-loving n nvr reli knew war until The Colonists came along. They're a bunch of parasitic aliens who go frm planet to planet, colonizing it n feeding off its resources until the planet dies n they move onto the nxt. I was part of the rebellion to try n ovrthrow The Colonists, bt their fire power n man power were much more superior than ours, n it was obvious we were fighting a losing battle
Sylvia: (listens closely)
Peepers: [finished the last drink in his glass n refilled it before continuing] Lord Hater was still starting off on his quest to conquer the galaxy. He was looking to recruit wen he stumbled upon our planet by chance. The Watchdogs n I were imprisoned in their dungeons n Lord Hater got captured n imprisoned as well, bt it didnt phase him bcoz they didnt knw his teleportation powers. He said to me "Either u die in this gob forsaken planet being eaten by those leeches or u can come with me n join my No#1 Superstar team". It was cheesy, now tht I think abt it, bt at tht time, it was our saving grace. He teleported all of us group by group into his spaceship n we rode the hell outta there, nvr looking bk
Sylvia: (sips her drink) Explains why you stick around with him despite how he screws up.
Peepers: Yeah, n it explains as well how I fell in love with him. He saved my ppl's lives as well as mine, n I couldnt thank him enough for wat he did. The least I could do was pledge my allegiance to him, n maybe slowly work our relationship frm there. I guess... I guess I took too long n let him slip away frm me... [sipped his drink]
Sylvia: Yeah, sucks when that happens... (moves her tail closer to Peepers)
Peepers: Anyway I made my peace with Lord Hater. I told him I'm letting him go, tht we're OK with just being friends. N I made my peace with Wander too. Tho u weren't kidding wen u said Wander is pretty grouchy
Sylvia: That's soemthing that seems to happen with his species. (her tail is rather close to Peepers at this point)
Peepers: [finally noticed Sylvia's tail wrapped ard him n was sitting rather close to her, almost hip to hip] Umm... R u doing wat I think ur doing there, zbornak?
Sylvia: (notices and pulls her tail away) I-if that's bothering you, I can stop. ^^;;
Peepers: Well, not reli, bt u sure got an odd timing wen someone just officially broke up with their crush -__-;;
Sylvia: >>;; It's a zbornak thing...
Peepers: Huh, I see. Well... [thought a bit, then finally decided] U knw... Lord Hater told me to survey this particular planet to see if its worth conquering. If... If ur OK with it, wanna survey it with me...?
Sylvia: (blinks at him) You're...asking me...to team up with you?
Peepers: Well, something like tht, bt if ur not comfortable with it, I understand. I mean, I am abt to help our evil overlord conquer a planet aftr all...
Sylvia:... Sure, I can help you out. (tail slightly wags)
Peepers: Great, its a date then [realized wat he just said] Umm, I mean, not a DATE date, bt umm... U knw...
Sylvia: Relax, I know what you meant. (notices her tail) Stop that. -_-
Peepers: [grinned a bit, then flicked the tail with his finger] There, tht should do it. No touchy [chuckled as he sipped his drink]
Sylvia: (hitches a small breath, but relaxes)
Peepers: So, u knw abt my past, I knw abt ur past, bt wat I dunno is how did u meet tht furball?
Sylvia: Found him imprisoned in a basement, said he was being held captive by his sister or something.
Peepers: His sister? Woah, wat did he do? Got grounded or something?
Sylvia: He...didn't really feel comfortable talking about it.
Peepers: I see... [thought a bit] Bt knwing how close they r, I bet he prolly already told Lord Hater
Sylvia: Yeah, probably... (clears throat) So...
Peepers: [finished the last of his drink] So...?
Sylvia:...When's that mission? Surveying this planet?
Peepers: [calculated in his head] ...Sometime during this weekend, I think
Sylvia: Alright then. (sees her tail wag again) >_<
Peepers: -___- [flicked it again] So any idea how many babies Wander n Lord Hater r gonna hv?
Sylvia: (hitches breath again at tail being flicked) ...From what I know, possibly 5 to 6.
Peepers: Wow, Lord Hater is gonna hv a handful then
Sylvia: Well, they've got us to help them out.
Peepers: True [tries to imagine looking aftr 5 to 6 little furballs n shuddered] Oi vey, not sure I'm looking forward to it
Sylvia: Hey it'll give you some practice for kids someday. (flushes) That is...example! Just an example! o///o
Peepers: [roll eye] Yeah, yeah, I get it. Heh, ur just as clumsy with words as I am (giggle)
Sylvia: >///> ...(elbows him playfully) :P
Peepers: [chuckled, then picked up the bottle n saw it was enough for two more glasses] One more for the road?
Sylvia: (nod) Alright then.
Peepers: [poured them both the drinks, finishing the bottle, then raised his glass for a toast] Wat shall we drink to?
Sylvia: Hmm... (holds up her glas) To a hopefully bright future?
Peepers: :) I'd drink to tht [clinked glasses with her] To a hopefully bright future
Sylvia: (nod) (sips her drink)
Peepers: [sipped as well]
Sylvia: ^^ (has her tail nearing Peepers again)
Peepers: [notices n flicks it again] (thinks: This is going to be tedious...bt fun)
