[In the item shop, there is a derpy blonde girl. She appears to be considering a hat.]

... ... oh, it's so cute... [She sighs, wistfully.] If only it weren't so cold out...

[... this does not appear to be stopping her from looking for a hatbox to take it home in

[SUDDENLY THERE IS SOMEONE BEHIND YOU. Rather, hanging over your shoulder to look at the hat. ...It is definitely questionable....]

Maybe it's a little cute, but...are you sure about wearing it? [She's pretty sure she knows the answer, though, from previous examples of Shirley hats.]

[prayingone]

I wouldn't be interested in it if I didn't want to wear it... [But, Fenimore. It's pink. And has butterflies on it...]

[xelhes]

But it's.... [How to describe what is off about that hat so that Shirley might understand...? Those butterflies....] There's rather a lot of it.

[prayingone]

Yes. Isn't it nice? I don't have any hats with butterflies on them...

[markofthewise]

Earmuffs! [That's right, Sokka was browsing some new long johns to wear under his clothes to stay warmer.] That hat and earmuffs. It could work!

[prayingone]

Oh, that's perfect! [aaaaaaa sokka you have just solved all of her winter hat problems] I don't think I have a pair... ... but that's okay. I could find a set that matched...!

[markofthewise]

[Sokka slides on over, tipping a bowler hat on as he does.] Exactly! Hats are kind of one of my things. Or would be, if I ever find one that ever really says "Sokka" to me.

[prayingone]

I really like hats! I think it's a lot of fun, trying on different kinds.

Well, that one looks nice, but... hm. [Shirley roots through the hats, eventually coming up with this hat.] Maybe something more like this?

[redsynonymhere]

It is nice. You should take it anyway.

[Says the girl wearing all pink]

[prayingone]

I think I will... ... if nothing else, I can wait until the spring to wear it outside.

[redsynonymhere]

What's wrong with wearing it now?

[prayingone]

The weather just isn't right for it, I suppose... it's still too cold out.

[hana_king]

[ Usopp's never known a hat to be able to defeat him, so why should it defeat anybody else? >: ]

You could always take it home and wear it once it starts getting warmer.

[prayingone]

That's a good idea. It's such a cute spring or summer hat... I wish winter didn't last so long here.

[hana_king]

How long does it usually last where you're from?

[prayingone]

In the places I've lived, only a few months... ... it started later and ended earlier than it does in Luceti.

[raizanshou]

Ahh... Maybe you could wear it anyway? It wouldn't make that much of a difference if it were hot or cold out, would it?

[What does Asbel know about fashion? He wears what amounts to a glorified disco suit! But at least the scarf he's wearing looks pretty nice.]

[prayingone]

Maybe... ... but I don't think my sister would like it. She probably would tell me that I'd catch a cold, if I walked around outside in a hat like this during winter...

[raizanshou]

Hmm... Good point... ...What if you just made sure to bundle up well? It shouldn't be a problem, then...

[prayingone]

[!]

... ... maybe if I wore a warmer hat underneath it?...
