[the gang made their way to Wander n Hater's room]
Hater: [made a beeline to the bathroom n puked]
Wander: ^^;;
Peepers: :(
Sylvia: Oi, tht sounds pretty bad. U sure he's OK?
Wander: It has happened a few times.
Sylvia: Well he sounds much sicker than he was with the first pregnancy, n much more hormonal
Wander: Mhm... (think)
Hater: [finally comes out of the bathroom, sighing n wiping his mouth]
Wander: (comes up to him) You alright, Hatey?
Hater: [nodded tiredly] My throat hurts from the puking tho...
Wander: (rubs his back gently)
Sylvia: Ugh, no stranger to that. Want something to drink for ur throat?
Hater: I can't ask u to do it, u guys just got here...
Peepers: (signs) You sure? You don't want water, juice or something?
Hater: (think) ....Maybe something sourish
Sylvia: Lemonade with less sugar, just like Wildflower used to make. I'll do it [hands the baby sling to Peepers n went to the mini bar to make it]
Peepers: (cradles his babies) :)
Hater: [sees the baby sling n peeks in] Are those...?
Peepers: (signs) Hater, Wander... :) Meet Iris and Egbert, Eggy as we call him.
Wander: (also peeks) :)
Hater: Aww, aren't they adorable? [tickled their chins] Koochie koochie koo~ ^w^
Iris & Eggy: (giggle)
Wander: (nod)
Sylvia: Here ya go, ur drink [hands Hater the lemonade]
Hater: [sips it slowly] Thanks...
Sylvia: So where's ur litter?
Wander: They're in the next room.
Sylvia: Nice. Too bad the twins r just newborn, or they would be able to play with the litter
Wander: Mhm.
Sylvia: So bk to the matter at hand: wat exactly is tht pretty boy doing out there, n why do u need him for ur quest?
Hater: It's simple, reli. I need his fighting skills to help me defeat my father, maybe kill him if we hv to
Wander: I DID say we should at least see their reaction to you returning home.
Sylvia: Yeah, wat if they're actually sorry, tht they feel bad abt the whole thing?
Hater: We'll see wen it happens, bt I'm not too optimistic abt this
Peepers: (signs) Make that two of us... :(
Wander: ?
Sylvia: Wat? U don't think they'll welcome him bk with open arms either, Pipsqueak?
Peepers: (signs) No, no, I was...referring to something else...
Sylvia: Wat do u mean? [was concerned]
Peepers: ... (signs) About running into my own father...
Sylvia: [remembered the news broadcast the other day] Oh, that...
Hater: Huh? Am I missing something here?
Wander: Wasn't he responsible for you losing your voice and death of your mother?
Peepers: (signs) He was, but it's just that...
Sylvia: We saw him on the news and... [told them wat happened n wat was said on live TV] So yeah
Hater: Ur right to hv second thoughts. Someone as violent as tht? I doubt anything good will come out of u seeing him
Peepers: (signs) The case with your father and mine are completely different. You may not be willing to forgive yours, but with mine...
Hater: To each their own, I suppose
Sylvia: [still disagrees with Peepers abt forgiving his dad, but doesn't say anything] :(
Peepers: |-( (goes back to cradling his babies)
Hater: Either way, I can't ask u to help, Sylvia. U just gave birth n ur babies need u, n frm the stories u n Wander told me, Brad seems like he could at least hold his own in a battle, despite his brazen attitude abt it. I need him to do wat needs to be done
Wander: (was in his own thoughts)
Hater: [sipped his drink, then sighed] I'll go chk on the litter [made his way to the nxt room]
Sylvia: [waited till he left before turning to Wander] Wow, he's reli serious, isn't he?
Wander: Hm? Oh, yeah, he...he's pretty serious about this...
Sylvia: :^) I can see something's on ur mind, buddy. Spill it
Wander: ...I'm still not sure I can trust Brad...
Sylvia: Why not? I mean, sure, he's a bit of an ass, bt I'm sure he's pretty honourable wen it comes to being a hired gun, right?
Wander: Just as long as he doesn't try anything funny, I suppose.
Sylvia: U don't think he's still sore abt... U know, that thing wen u pretended to seduce him to get him away from Demurra?
Wander: I don't really know...
Sylvia: I hv to admit, he was reli into u tht time, n don't deny it, u had a thing for him a little at that time as well. He was reli heartbroken wen he found out the truth
Wander: (held his chest) Well... maybe I still care about him, but...
Sylvia: Bt u got Bonehead now, I get it. Maybe it's time u two talk it out before u guys end up killing each other before the mission?
Wander: ...It's worth a try.
Sylvia: Go, I'll accompany Hater n maybe introduce the twins to the litter
Wander: (nod) (goes off to find Brad)
