I've a very fine hat, sir, should your maiden not turn up.

[emptyyourself]

Let's see it, then. I'll decide your eligibility based on size, shape, and level of comfort.

[get_thebook]

Of course.

[And Frances brings her hat into view, a large, shade-giving sun hat with a wide rim that curls upward slightly, a perfect pocket for some light but sleepy creature.]

[OHMIGOSHWHATANICEHATTHATIS.

Annnnnnd...]

In the absence of my traveling companion...

You'll do.

[thegooddrjones]

Oh no, Mr. Squirrel! Is there anything I can do to help?

[emptyyourself]

That all depends. Do you have a hat?

[thegooddrjones]

I have a hat in my palace! I whole room of them.

[emptyyourself]

[...]

You have a hat room?

[yeerkwarveteran]

[Have a very richly dressed woman, bejeweled bodice-the whole nine yards.] How odd, a talking rodent.

[emptyyourself]

If you don't have a hat, I'm not interested. You don't appear to have the sort of attire which would allow pockets.

Or squirrels in pockets.

In fact, you seem more like the sort who would enjoy an enchanted peacock or, possibly, a plucky fieldmouse.

I am not a plucky fieldmouse.

[yeerkwarveteran]

Interested in what? I don't need an enchanted peacock or a fieldmouse.

[emptyyourself]

Interested in you.

I do not require a companion with all the finery of nobility and no hat.

[ifightfor]

[Oh hello, it's a squirrel on the talking thing. Have a dragonfase staring at you with the biggest, most intent eyes.]

[emptyyourself]

[ D: ]

Shoo

[ifightfor]

[But. But. ...But.

...Buuuuuuut. You're a talking squirrel!]

Rrr?

[emptyyourself]

No. Go home.

[And for good measure, some frantic shooing.]

Off you go.

[nicebluehat]

Where have you been.

[emptyyourself]

Where have I been? Where have I been?

I have been worried out of my little squirrel mind!

Where have you been?

[nicebluehat]

You were the one that jumped out when I walked away from that candied nut basket.

[emptyyourself]

Did you fail to notice when I was no longer sitting atop your head?

They were delicious...Sweetened almonds and walnuts and caramelized -

But that's hardly the point.
