[meanwhile, inside the med bay...]
Wander: [slowly stirs] Ughh... My head... [tries to sit up]
Hater: (was again in deep sleep, but jerked here and there)
Wander: [sees Hater in bed, n slowly gets up, hissed at the sting frm his burns. He looked at the bandages all ovr his body, before slowly getting off the bed n made his way to Hater's bed] :( Hatey... [was abt to reach ovr to take his hand]
Hater: (jerked again) Ngh!
Wander: [flinched bk, then sees sparks coming out of his body, bt not as bad as before] Hatey... Wat is wrong with u...? :(
Hatey: ... (began weeping softly in his sleep) ;(
Wander: Oh Hatey... :( [didn't dare to touch him, bt just leaned nxt to bed, resting his head on the bed railing as he hushed Hater, trying to comfort him]
(A little while later)
Hater: ..mmm... (blinked his eyes open and glanced around) Huh...?
Wander: [was snoring silently, his head leaning against the bed railing] |-)
Hater: ... :( Wander... (wanted to pet his head but was afraid to burn him again) ... (thinks; he has to know somehow...)
Peepers: [came in chk on them, n sees them together] Oh, sir, ur awake
Hater: Hey, C Peeps...
Peepers: U... U feeling a little better, sir?
Hater: Sort of... But Wander... I hurt him... :(
Peepers: I knw, I saw. Bt u didn't mean it. Its just bad timing tht ur Stage 2 is acting up
Hater: ...He has to know somehow...but...what if... (worry)
Peepers: Wat if...? :|
Hater: He'd hate me for not telling him when... :(
Peepers: He will hv to deal with it one way or another. Its better he hate u temporarily than it being too late n he blames himself. Like I said, I'm sure he'll forgive u vry quickly once u tell him. I won't force u tell him, it'll be up to u, sir
Hater: ... Mhm...
Peepers: So, the doc said u need to take some magic suppressor meds he'll issue u once a day, n he said u need to find something to minimize damage n protect urself frm others n urself. I'm guessing tht item might be wat ur family sent u in the private package?
Hater: (nod) Yes, the suit.
Peepers: The suit? Is it something ur family wore, I mean, those who got the cancer?
Hater: Yeah, my dad's sister and his grandmother.
Peepers: I see. Well, I... [sees Wander stirring] Oh hey, furball
Wander: (yawn) [rubbed his eyes then sees Hater] :O Hatey! Ur awake! [wanted to glomp him bt remembered abt his condition n held bk]
Hater: Yeah...I'm okay, really...
Wander: R u reli tho? Wat's wrong with u? Wat was tht just now? Is there something going on?
Peepers: It's a magic cold
Wander: Wat...?
Peepers: Hater has the magic cold, its like a cold, bt the magic type. Tht explosion is basically like a sneeze. Only his species get tht kind of cold
Hater: (about to protest but paused) ... What he said.
Wander: Oh tht's terrible. U gonna be alright tho? Is there anyway to reduce the "sneeze"? How long does the cold last?
Peepers: He needs to wear a special suit to keep the "sneeze" at bay. There's no telling wen it'll end. He just has to weather it thru
Wander: Well... OK, as long as u get rest n take ur meds n put on the suit then :)
Peepers: U should rest too, furball. Don't wanna aggravate ur burns [gives Hater a "Just this once" look before leaving them alone]
Hater: ...Yeah...Got a suit for that cold... (felt deeply guilty about continuing to lie like this)
Wander: I'm just glad tht ur alright :) [smiled his usual wide innocent smile before he dared to nuzzle Hater's shoulder, just a little bit]
Hater: o///o Um...yeah...but you're going to be okay too, right?
Wander: Oh I'll be fine. I've had worse injuries during my adventuring days. Tis bt a scratch (giggle)
Hater: Are you sure? :(
Wander: I'm sure, I'm sure, don't worry abt me ;) [thought for a bit before perking up] (idea) Speaking of, shall we add Bradley into our crew?
Hater: Um...why? :|
Wander: Bcoz! He looks like he needed something to do, n we're helping this planet get rid of their "troublemaker". Win-win, right? Pleeeeeeaaaaaaaaaasssssssssseeeeeeeeee~~~~~~
Hater: ... >_< Okay, okay, quit the plea already.
Wander: Yayy! Can't wait to tell Bradley the good news! :D
Hater: Heh, yeah, sure. :)
Wander: Also, been meaning to tell u for a while tht maybe think abt getting a slightly smaller ship, since the Watchdogs hv reduced considerably after u sent the bigger half off
Hater: I suppose I should. (think) It is time for an update.
Watchdog: We can go ship-shopping! I bet Peepers n Bradley hv a good eye on a nice new ship. Personally I think for an adventurer, ur skull ship is a little too creepy (giggle)
Hater: :| Hey, I thought it looked cool.
Wander: It looked cool for a Conqueror, not an Adventurer ;p
Hater: (think) True...
Wander: Well, I'm gonna go tell Peepers tht we're keeping Bradley. U rest up now, OK? Don't want ur cold to get worse ;) [got off the chair n chk himself out of the med bay to go find Peepers]
Hater: Yeah, you do that... (sighed deeply) :(
