Flesh of My Blood-Chp117

[the ship soon made its warp speed n jump, almost arriving to their destination]

Computer: Approaching Planet Tyron in T-minus 20 mins

Wander: (nod) (turns to the hat) Got anything I need to keep undercover, Hatty? Just in case they've heard about me?

Hat: [produced a sort of vial containing bluish liquid n the label read "Oral Dye"]

Wander: (inspects it) I have to drink this, or...?

Hat: [gave a sideways flop, as if smirking n telling him to drink]

Wander: Hmm... (drinks it down, grimicing at the sour aftertaste)

[it took a while, bt soon Wander's fur slowly changed frm his usual bright orange to blue with hints of white in btwn, mostly on his bk, n his eye colour changed to a bright silver]

Wander: (looks in reflection) Wow...that's interesting.

Hat: [had a proud grin]

Wander: :) This'll do nicely.

Computer: Approaching destination in T-minus 5 mins

Wander: (nod)

[the planet was soon within sights n the ship made its way to the landing]

Wander: (takes a good look at it)

[the planet definitely looked tropical, like a cross between Miami, Hawaii n Rio]

Wander: :) Nice.

Computer: Approaching Planet Tyron. Brace urself for landing

Wander: (stays in his chair)

[the ship soon landed slowly onto the planet docks]

Wander: (picks up the hat) You want to join me, or would you feel safer staying behind?

Hat: [plopped itself onto his head]

Wander: (giggle) Take care, Computer. (exits the ship)

Computer: Stay safe, Master Wander. I will keep u updated if anything happens in the ship

Wander: (like) (looks around at the numerous sights)

[it was a pretty nice tropical paradise, with loads of ppl n tourists alike enjoying the sun, the beach n the atmosphere]

Wander: :) (walked along to see if he could enjoy himself for a while)

Hat: [took in the sight, bobbing left n right as if admiring the view]

Wander: :) Like the sight too, Hatty?

Hat: [bobbing as if nodding]

Wander: ^^ (walks past numerous mini shops with owners selling various merch to passersby)

Owner1: Chilled pine-grapes! Chilled pine-grapes! Only 3 space credits each!

Owner2: Poncho? Anyone wanna buy a poncho? Finest silk from the planet of the 3rd galaxy!

Owner3: Shell ornaments! Shell ornaments! Get ur shell ornaments for ur loved ones!

Wander: (kept on walking, thinking to himself but also glancing around)

Owner3: Sir? Sir? U look like u need to get something for ur sweetheart! Can I interest u in our shell ornaments??

Wander: (looks back, pointing at himself) ?

Owner3: Yes, sir! U look like u got a special someone! Wanna get something for ur darling?

Wander: (thinks; well, in case Hater is upset...) (walks forward) What you got?

Owner3: I've got necklaces, vases, frames, anything tht can be made out of shells, u got it. Take ur pick ;)

Wander: (took a look) ...You have anything with a touch of green?

Owner3: I sure do! Here [digs out frm their basket to reveal a conch tht shimmered in sea-foam green n blue] How's this? It works pretty well as both a decor n an actual instrument [demo it by blowing at the conch, making a hollow trombone sound] N if u hold it near ur ear, u will hear the sea [held it against Wander's ear]

Wander: (listens closely)

[a hollow sound was heard, like the waves tht crash thru the beach at midnight]

Wander:... :) That sounds amazing.

Owner3: So whaddaya say, sir? Hv we got a deal?

Wander: (thinks about it, then digs into his hat pulling out how much he needed for the conch) ;) A deal.

Owner3: [received the amount n nodded, packaged the conch for him] Pleasure doing business with u, sir

Wander: (nod) (heads off)

[seeing Wander buy the stuff, the other vendors started hollering n offering their stuff to Wander, their voices overlapping]

Wander: (starts feeling uneasy and runs to get out of there)

[luckily they didn't pursue him any further]

Wander: (had gotten out of there) (whew) Geez.

Hat: [bobbing a bit as if laughing at him]

Wander: >_> Oh shut up. (kept walking on)

[the sky gradually grew dark, n the nomad was soon walking along the sandy beach watching the setting sun]

Wander: (watching the sun go down) Hmm... Mama loved sunsets... :(

Hat: [swayed a bit in agreement]

Wander: (sits down to continue watching the sunset)

Hat: [bobbed gently as if asking him "You OK?"]

Wander: I just miss her, that's all...

Hat: [bobbed again like a sympathetic "I knw..."]

Wander: (sighs, lying back to close his eyes for a moment)

Hat: [flopped off his head to lie next to him]

Wander: (hummed softly)

[the sound of the waves n the chirps of birds up in the skies, as well as the soft wind blowing had a soft relaxing melody to it]

Wander: Hmm... (smiles softly to the sounds)

Hat: [has limped as if fallen asleep to the soothing sounds]

Wander: (hummed softly to himself some more)
