We're All a Little Mad // OxO // Closed

(Night!)

"Wonderful," Aliana responded with a slight sigh. This would be a pain, wouldn't it.

Hatta checked out with the front desk, then led her out of the hotel.

Aliana handed the key to the lady at the desk before hurrying out after Hatta. She bit her lip, "So will we just be wandering around wishing things?"

Hatta shrugged. "Like I said. With all your heart." He replied, adjusting his hat as he walked through the streets.

"Okay," Aliana thought for a moment as they walked, "I wish with all my heart that we would find this well."

"You say that, but…" Hatta shook his head. "Wishing for the well itself isn't enough. There has to be something you want with all your heart, and you concentrate on that. On being willing to do anything, just for that wish to come true."

"Fine," Aliana thought for a moment before carefully asking, "Have you ever wished for something other than not growing madder?"

"No. There's no point in it." Hatta replied, a little coldly, his hands shoved in his pockets again.

Aliana adjusted her backpack once more. She understood to drop the topic, "Yeah, so the wishing is left to me?"

He shrugged. "We can both wish. I just…I don't know if it'll work." He replied. He didn't seem quite as mad, quite as crazy, as he had been the day before.

"Thank you," Aliana gave him a little smile. She wasn't sure if she would be able to wish a well into existance, but felt better if Hatta was going to help, "For at least being willing to try."

Hatta shrugged. "Mm. I'll try. Can't guarantee anything will come out of it, though."

Aliana hummed as she walked trying to think of something she could wish for. Maybe for her nightmares to go away? No that wouldn't happen now or ever. It had to be something tangible, didn't it? She bit her lip, "What are you going to wish for this time?"

Hatta shrugged. "I don't know. Safety." he sighed quietly, shaking his head a little. "What about you?" he asked.

Aliana held herself as she shrugged, "I was thinking about wishing my nightmares away, but that's probably a stupid wish."

Hatta looked at her carefully. "That's not a stupid wish. A stupid wish would be an endless amount of cake." he replied with a shrug. Then he grinned. "Hey, maybe that's what I'll wish for! Cake!"

Aliana laughed a little and she glanced over at him smiling, "That is a silly wish, but if that's what you want to do go for it I suppose."

Hatta shrugged expansively. "Yeah, maybe." He replied, tipping his hat a little.

(Gtg. Good night!)

(Night!)

"Or could always wish for tea?" Aliana suggested a slight tease in her voice.

Hatta laughed. "I could, at that." he replied. "Have a tea party at the wishing well."

Aliana giggled a little, "I do hope I'm invited."

"Oh, of course." Hatta replied with a smirk.

"Good," Aliana responded going to straighten her dress which had bunched up somehow, "I would be offended if you hadn't."

Hatta chuckled. "Mm. What should I care about offense?" he replied.

"I," Aliana paused to think for a moment before going quiet, "I don't know."

Hatta looked at her. "What, that too mad of an idea for you?" he asked, eyes flaring wide.

"No!" Aliana responded quickly, "It's not to mad, I just can't come up with a reason."

Hatta chuckled. "Mm. Alright." He replied with a quick shrug. He started to whistle again.

Alana let out a sigh of relief as she started to him a song and kept wishing her nightmares would go away. Or at the very least never come true.

Hatta himself was wishing, but his focus kept wavering. He continued to whistle as they walked, heading out of town.
