[Meanwhile Wander was tucking the litter to bed, tho he was clearly sulking]
*knock knock knock*
Hater: (pokes head in) Um...Wander?
Wander: [looked up with a halfhearted smile] Hey, Hatey
Hater: You, um...wanna talk about it?
Wander: [turned away frm him, pretending to be busy with the litter] Talk abt wat?
Hater: What happened down there... (walks over) But you know Sylvia is just looking out for you and all that, right?
Wander: [mumbled] Maybe she should just mind her own business sometimes. I'm not a helpless flower that needs rescuing all the time [surprisingly upset, something he would nvr say out loud]
Hater: (blinks) ...But still...
Wander: [realized wat he just said n sighed] I knw... She's just worried, bt she doesn't hv to be all the time. I can fight my own battles, u knw
Hater: She could be right about one thing... what if Janet did something to ME? You did mention how nomads react when their mate is in danger and such...
Wander: [sighs again] I get wat u mean... Bt I just wish Sylvia would stop being suspicious all the time. She can't knw 100% that Janet would do anything, n neither can u. We just need to hv faith, is all. I'm just tired of having to justify myself all the time just make her take it easy
Hater: (pulls Wander close, hugging him)
Wander: [leans close to him] Hatey... Do u think I'm too...naive?
Hater: Well... there are times you seem oblivious... but you are just trying to help others and make friends, it's what you do... But you DO know that doesn't always work out, do you?
Wander: [just nodded, doesn't reply, nuzzling closer to Hater]
Hater: (holds him, rubbing his back)
Wander: .....I want to believe it'll always work out tho... Just like... How we worked out... Coz I nvr gave up on u...
Hater: I know you do... I know you do... (kisses his forehead)
Wander: [hummed a bit as he nuzzled closer, taking in Hater's scent until he fell asleep, tired frm his day with Janet]
Hater: (smiles, picks up Wander gently and tucks him into his bed)
Wander: [curled up in the covers, snoring silently]
Hater: (sits next to him, rubbing his back gently as the nomad slept)
