There really weren’t any other deities in the Islandverse that could be classed as a "kindred spirit." Take Shannonmouth for example, it was far too loud and constantly in motion, which made Hurleyhair afraid to get near lest it get caught. And Jinwrist had seemed like it might be what Hurleyhair was hoping for. But the one time Jinwrist tried to get close, its shiny silver bracelet had gotten hopelessly tangled in Hurleyhair and tugged wickedly. Hurleyhair hadn’t been near Jinwrist since. Jackback was the strong and sturdy type, something that Hurleyhair, with its impulsive nature, respected and admired. However, Jackback was always busy and continually turned away. Boonebrows should have been somewhat of a kindred spirit, but they kept climbing up and away from Hurleyhair in a most snobbish manner. Like they were so much better than Hurleyhair? Not. Boonebrows could keep their not-quite wild ways and take a hike right off the Islandverse.

Hmmmm... Hurleyhair had found Waltlaugh fun to spend time with. Unfortunately Waltlaugh was no good at hide and seek. The same went for Vincenttail, who had some visitors of its own. Hurleyhair definitely wanted no part of that! Suneyes were gorgeous but fretful, which made Hurleyhair feel too wild and not a little crazy when they were together. Katenose would have been nice to spend time with, if only it wasn’t so busy watching Sawyertummy and Jackback. And though Hurleyhair was used to constant motion, all that to-ing and fro-ing, back and forth, made it the slightest bit nauseous. A sick deity was not a happy deity. Now, Sayidlips were very pretty. There was something about the curve of them that spoke to Hurleyhair. Of course, there was no chance for Hurleyhair there, as Sayidlips spent all their time getting up close and personal with Sawyertummy.

Speaking of Sawyertummy, Hurleyhair would have enjoyed lazing away the days, spread out across that smooth expanse of flesh, if only Sayidlips wasn’t in the way. Hurleyhair had thought about trying Lockelegs, even though they’d never given Hurleyhair much time to get to know them, what with all the walking they were doing - just to prove they could. But they really had very little in common. Besides, Hurleyhair just couldn't see what was so great about walking, no matter how much Lockelegs seemed to enjoy it.

Sliding through the water, Hurleyhair let the gentle lapping soothe away the stresses of the day. There was a time when Charliefingers would have been right here with Hurleyhair. Sighing, Hurleyhair resigned itself to another evening alone, drying to a frizz by the fire. Rising up out of the water, Hurleyhair shook out the bulk of the water, then nearly stood on end when something crept through it. It felt like... like Charliefingers! It was Charliefingers! They’d come back! Hurleyhair curled with glee as Charliefingers slowly combed their way through, untangling and smoothing, until Hurleyhair was little more than one big curl. There really was nothing better than this, even if some of the other deities felt it was more than a little scandalous to be this close, this affectionate. But Hurleyhair didn’t care, not while Charliefingers were doing that. Hurleyhair didn’t have a care in the world as long as it could wrap itself around Charliefingers and hold on tight. This was where Hurleyhair belonged - with Charliefingers. And now they were together, all was right with the Islandverse.
