[ ... This is kind of the first time Carl's used his Dreamberry. Otherwise, apparently it was hiding out in the form of a tiny automaton. He'd discovered that, and had been playing with it since. He blinks--what on earth was that? How odd. ]
Hm... Miss, is that man a knight? It might seem rude for me to intrude, but... well, he doesn't seem very knightly to me. I mean, shouldn't a knight defend a lady's honor instead of ruin it, Miss? It must be very hard for you to deal with people like that... those guys aren't proper gentlemen at all...
[ Don't worry, Alice, Carl doesn't understand why it'd be embarrassing, except because of how "ungentlemanly" they're all acting. ... He's... er, special. ... Yes. ]
The Rabbit was trying to defend your honor, though... he kind of did take it a bit far, though. Maybe he got the wrong idea? Well, still, I don't think any of them were behaving like I was taught. [ Smiles. ] You shouldn't treat a woman improperly like that.
*And special indeed he was. Especially adorable. There was something precious about boys trying to be gentlemanly.* And I'm sorry you had to see something like that.
Heehee, thank you. And oh, no, don't apologize. That situation clearly wasn't your fault, after all. [ He smiles. Doesn't miss a beat to be polite, does he?]
My name is Carl Clover, by the way. What's yours?
[ Of course he could use the Dreamberry to find out, but asking directly was much more polite, right? ]
[ If she'd been in front of him, he'd probably taken his hat off and bowed. ]
O-oh, no, the pleasure is all mine, Miss! I'm sorry I saw that, though. I didn't mean to intrude. I don't suppose there's anything I can do to help, is there...?
I understand how you feel. I can respect that, after all. Though, if there is anything I can do, Miss Alice, I really don't mind. Since apparently, we're stuck here too...
[ Yes, 'we,' there is someone with him. You did not mishear that. Though Carl can't help but intently watch Alice, just a bit... there's something familiar about her. He wasn't sure how to describe, though and it would probably be rude to say it. ]
I'll be sure to keep that in mind Carl. And I appreciate it very much. It's a sticky situation we're in, but at least we're not alone.
*blinking at the 'we' part. Is there ... someone behind him? There is something definitely there, but she can't tell exactly.* I'm sorry if I sound like I'm prying, but is there someone with you?
Oh, I'm never alone, as long as Sis is with me. And it's okay, I don't mind at all. I'm sure she wants to say hello~
[ And the angle of the video turns. See, this whole time, it's been held by a marionette so Carl could get a good view, and vice versa. Now the camera turns and... holy HELL what the FUCK IS THAT NIGHTMARE FUEL BEHIND HIM--did he just call that thing his sister, I don't even... ]
It is an odd situation, I admit... but it's better to have company in it, even if it is unfortunate. Are your... ah... friends here, too?
*She doesn't scream, but she inhales sharply when she sees the .. WHATEVER IT IS. It's rather creepy to be honest - but he called it "Sis". Whatever this means, it must be pretty important if he gave endearing name like that.*
Well, yes. Boris- the one with the cat ears- and Ace is here. And Julius, who wasn't in the dream. What about you Carl, you and your - sister are not alone, yes?
Ah, this Boris friend of yours is a beastman? Or is he one of the Kaka clan...?
[ A pause. He considers her question. ] Well... Noel Vermillion is here with us--you might have met her? But she's not really our friend. We did go to the same Academy, but... she works for the NOL. I'm a vigilante, so we're too different...
[ And then he startles. Oops. ] O-oh, I guess none of that made sense, I apologize! This other worlds thing is really strange, isn't it, Sis...?

He is in some sense... But you are very right. Ace does not act chivalrous at all. *a small smile* And thank you. Dealing with them is bit difficult.

Yes ... I just met few minutes ago actually. *NOL and vigilante ...? What in the world.* Well, you're right about that. I am afraid I am totally lost.
But it's all right. I have heard some weirder things here.
