[It takes Fenimore some time to reach for her journal after they find Shirley missing. But, eventually, she drags herself over and opens it. It's no small matter for Shirley to have made friends in Luceti -- the girl had spent her first fifteen years friendless. She can't just leave that alone. But, even once she opens it, there's silence for a

[But this passerby... likes that hat. She doesn't recognize Fenimore - or Shirley, really - beyond a passing glance, but that hat stands out to her such that Charlotte meanders on over towards the other party, given that she was out here to check out the dome and spotted this hate from a distance. And she's not evented yet]

Um, excuse me!

[blessingone]

[...? She looks up. This person seems familiar, but she's not clicking quite yet. It's been a long time since they met in person and she's still not very good at identifying people over the journals in real life.

Her tone isn't hostile, but it's not particularly enthusiastic:] ...What is it?

[hazelrink]

...Can you tell me where you found that hat? [Because that is a extremely cool hat]

[blessingone]

[...Sigh. But she had come across Shirley finding it, so:]

It was in the clothing store. Where else would it be?

[hazelrink]

Well I've never seen one quite like that before.

[blessingone]

[She takes off the hat to give it a look. ...Yeah, she's not surprised that Charlotte wouldn't have seen this one before.] It's weird enough that there's even one person interested in a hat as ridiculous as this.

[hazelrink]

But you're wearing it, aren't you? So there's two! [Seriously, what's you issue girl? But no that doesn't come into her thought process. It just sounds like a casual proving wrong ness]

[blessingone]

I'm not wearing it because I like it! It's -- I just needed a hat.

[hazelrink]

But if you don't like it... why wear it?

[blessingone]

I told you, I needed a hat and this belongs -- [she grimaces] belonged to a friend. If I had the time, I wouldn't have picked this. [A lie.]

[hazelrink]

[...Hmmm]

...Really? Because if it's a friend's wouldn't you like it a lot?

[blessingone]

Even if we're friends, it doesn't mean we agree about everything.

[hazelrink]

But it still belongs to your friend, and they're not around right now... so you must like it, right?

[blessingone]

[...Dammit, perceptive people! Stop piercing her shield of tsun! She pulls the hat down more firmly as if to hide underneath it.]

It's not...maybe a little....

...It's still a stupid hat.

[hazelrink]

Oh~ I don't know. [She twirls a little, getting beside the other girl!]

I think it has a lot of character?

[blessingone]

[Okay, she has to smile a little at that, even if she doesn't really want to.]

That...it certainly has that.
