Note: A drabble challenge I received using 'hat' as a prompt. Hope you enjoy!

"The human world is something, isn't it?" Aion asked with a light snicker, taking one of the hats from the rack and placing it on top of his head. A cowboy hat, well suited for the Western World he was about to discover; an outlaw freely roaming the vast sandy lands with his trusty companion by his side.

"Here. Try this." He tossed another onto Chrno's head as he watched the other clumsily catch it, half unexpected of it. A tilt of his own hat with a sly violet iris peeking from underneath, Aion tugged around his neck and pulled him towards the mirror he was in front of. "Not bad at all, don't you think?"

Two similar reflections though distinct -- One confident and one rather timid. "Nah, it looks better on you. I'll stick with this." Chrno pointed to his headband and Aion knew.

A cowboy and an Indian. The first sign that marked their true difference.
