[Rincewind gapes between the two of them, fists shaking at his sides in frustration. None of them understand, he realizes. None of them have even an inkling of what a wizard's hat means to a wizard; how much it means to Rincewind. And sure, maybe there's some mutual ignorance, because he certainly doesn't understand all of this either, all this fan nonsense, but what does that matter? It can't mean as much to them as it means to him. Rincewind's very sense of self is tied up in his hat. Seeing it sold, copies or not, so people can pretend on and off to be what Rincewind has fought his whole life to prove he has a right to call himself -
He shoots Jeff a sharp look, turning away so he at least doesn't have to look at the damn things anymore.]
Fine. Fine. Bloody well have it your way then. People usually do.
