ITP: I want an explanation for this.

What the bloody hell just happened?

[Arthur is staring at his house, and then at you expectantly. He didn't realize there was an event going on]

[Sophie steps out, looking much less tired than before.]

It seems you really did arrive at an interesting time.

[haspurity]

Is that so? I'm not certain what was going on, but at least the change is a welcome one.

[eldest_hatter]

It seems we were all convinced that we had spent at least ten years in the place, though in actuality, we have not.

I'm quite sorry for the trouble that may have caused you.

[haspurity]

The only trouble it's caused me hasn't ended yet-- and won't end until I return to my kingdom.

[eldest_hatter]

Yes. That's quite understandable.

Until the time we find a way home for everyone, I do hope you'll be comfortable staying here with us.

[he considers what he's going to say carefully]

Thank you for your hospitality. I know it can't have been easy to make do in such a situation.

I'm certain it will be fine.

[eldest_hatter]

[She sighs]

It isn't, but I've done the best I can to make things as well as they can be. I believe Arthur...England, is making dinner tonight. If you'd join us, we would all love to have you.

[haspurity]

I will once I return from the Town Hall. England has given me directions, and I intend to make use of them.

[eldest_hatter]

Alright...but, please be careful?

[haspurity]

You have my word.

[eldest_hatter]

Thank you. [She smiles, but it's a doubtful smile.]
