[the gang soon reached the kingdom]
King: Oh! So glad u returned. I heard from my men there's a fire going on nearby. R u...
Wander: Sorry to cut u off, bt my buddy needs medical attention
Peepers: Yeah, n here's ur stupid family heirloom. Now get us a doctor!
Sylvia: And fast!
Hater: (felt dizzy)...
King: R-Right [called for the medic]
Wander: [held Hater steady] Hang in there, Hatey :(
Hater: W...Wan... (grasped for his hand)
Wander: [takes it, not thinking too much abt it]
Peepers: [sees it, felt a little foreshadowing in his heart]
[The royal medics soon came n brought Hater to the medical wing to be treated]
Sylvia: (rubs Wander's back to ease his worries) He'll be okay, buddy.
Wander: I hope so... :(
Peepers: [turns to the King] Hey, tht spirit said ur family stole that goblet from them. It may be his excuse, bt I hv a feeling it might be true. So wats ur story? :^)
Sylvia: :^) Yeah, what it your reason?
King: I... Uhh...
Wander: Guys, it's not nice to accuse ppl... :(
Peepers: I know a crooked deal wen I see one. N it doesn't sit well with me
Sylvia: Was that even your treasure to start with??
King: Uh, umm, well... Technically...
Peepers: No technicalities. Spit it out!
King: OK, OK! I mean yeah, it did belonged to them at some point, bt my ancestors found it in the forest lake n no one seems to come n claim it or stop him from taking it, so they brought it bk to the castle n hv been using it to bless newborns ever since. Before then our newsborns usually don't live past 1 mth n those who did survive usually end up with some sort of disability. It's like we were cursed n our population is dying out. It was thanks to the goblet that we were able to regain bk our population
Sylvia: You couldn't have found anohter way instead of stealing what wasn't yours...?
King: It's not stealing wen no one comes to claim it. N I didn't steal it, my ancestors did
Peepers: Tht still doesn't make it OK. My boss, my only best friend almost died coz of ur stupid goblet! U don't deserve to be liberated!
Wander: Guys, guys, pls...
Sylvia: Yeah, and you only made him go cause you didn't trust he was gonna change at all, did you? DID YOU??
King: I... I...
Wander: Guys, pls, stop! He got the treasure n Hatey promised to give him liberation. Whatever happens later is on him, not us! I don't reli care anymore abt all this. I just want Hatey to be OK!
Peepers: Whatever! I should've told Hater to blow this planet up wen we had the chance. Useless piece of shit planet... [storms off]
Sylvia: :^) I know you're concerned for him, Wander, but it wasn't right what his 'Royal Highness' did. (followed Peepers)
Wander: :( [looked at the King, who just mumbled an incoherent excuse n left to keep the treasure in a safe place, then he turned to the door of the med wing, praying tht Hater would be OK]
Peepers: [was out at the palace balcony getting some air, trying to cool off from all this]
Sylvia: (stood next to him) Mind the company?
Peepers: [just grunted a reply as he kept on looking at the horizon before him]
Sylvia: You're concerned about Hater too, ain't you? (knew it was a dumb question)
Peepers: ....I'm always concerned abt him. He's my boss, first n foremost, n sometimes he tends to make stupid decisions tht I hv to clean up. So yeah, pretty much
Sylvia: Even more then so, huh?
Peepers: No more than I usually am. Wat r u trying to get at, zbornak?
Sylvia: (sighs) Look, I know it probably wasn't any of my business but I already have heard about what he might've told you.
Peepers: [turned to her suspiciously] Knw wat? I dunno wat ur talking abt
Sylvia: :^) Oh please, you know and I know but Wander doesn't have a clue about Hater's cancer.
Peepers: W-Where did u hear abt tht? How did u knw? [eyed her suspiciously] Hv u been spying on us?
Sylvia: When I was finding the restroom and heard him in the doctor's office.
Peepers: Hmph! If I didn't knw any better, it almost sounds like u n tht furball infiltrating urself into our fold to spy on us
Sylvia: No, I swear, it was just me who heard about this, I didn't tell Wander anything about it!
Peepers: Geez, cool dwn, I get it. Ur not spying on us. Bt why didn't u tell the furball? Don't u two share everything together?
Sylvia: He wouldn't take it so well...he's sensitive about that sort of thing.
Peepers: Exactly wat I said to Hater wen he told me abt his cancer [sighed] .... I wish I were the one having cancer. He may hv been evil bk then, bt he doesn't deserve this...
Sylvia: True... So plan to let Hater tell Wander himself?
Peepers: Yeah. Prolly better to let him hear the truth frm the person himself rather than frm us. Hopefully he'll throw a lesser fit tht way
Sylvia: Who knows...
