on lack of hatters

[hattergonnahat]

So you've realized by now you probably won't be seeing me again. I assumed you would, perhaps a little more quickly than you actually managed, but then no one seems to pick up on the obvious as quickly as they should.

[ Bitter? Him? Never. ]

I don't suppose it matters to you at all that I'm content with the way things ended. I've been involved in enough family disputes for a lifetime. It's time I was left alone with mine. It's a shame about the girl crossing the line and God knows what the Queen will do now that she's here, bu it's not as though any of them care what happens to us. The hat's gone. I've no value left to any of them.

So long as I stay out of the way, the Queen will meet her end and I'll be allowed to live with my daughter in peace. All this will finally be over. So stop wishing for foolish things and let it be.

...

Don't be dull. Of course they'll win. That's what heroes do. If anyone could do it, it's...

Nevermind. I've said my piece. Don't trouble me with this again.

[ He's more inclined to feel Cora wins that award, but he won't mention her if he can help it. ]

Maybe you'd have had more luck if you'd been behind the wheel.

It's a shame I wasn't then, huh?

[Oh look, you got a bit of a smile out of her.]

[ He will take his victories where he can. ]

I never said that.

[ He's not protesting the fact, though. ]

[Her small smile grows a bit more- but not much more than that before she sighs.]

Anyway- ..it looks like we're stuck with him for a while too. But I'd rather know where he is and have to keep an eye on him than have him wandering.

Last thing we need is that pirate making a mess of this town.

[As if it wasn't a mess already.]
