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.

Alana let out a small sound of frustration, "Why won't it show up?"

"It's not easy." He replied. "It never has been. If everyone could get there, the world would be very different."

"I understand," Aliana sighed, "But doesn't the well understand were trying to save the world?"

"That's not how the well works." Hatta replied with a shrug.

"I really wish that's how it worked," Aliana responded with a wishful sigh.

"Well, it isn't." He replied calmly. He sighed softly, running a hand through his hair.

Alana grabbed the straps of her backpack, "How long do you think it'll take to find it?"

"I don't know." Hatta said almost exasperatedly. "Sorry."

"Oh it's fine!" Aliana quickly responded, "I was just curious that's all!"

Hatta nodded, and kept walking. "Okay. Just…I don't know how long it'll take, or why it doesn't appear now."
