One could only hope this heat could let up some. Such the trade mark of summer, but the lightning senshi didn't mind the heat in the least. That's what shorts were for.
She happened to be strolling on her way back to the manor when she came across the man. He just seemed to be standing there not really doing anything. Perhaps in deep thought? Well, she hoped she wasn't bothering him when she curiously walked up to him.
In deep thought indeed. With his honed senses, however, the Hatter became aware of the young lady's presence almost immediately. Pushing his current concerns to the back of his mind, Blood adopted a charming smile as the woman approached him. He had never seen this girl -- and she had a face, so there was certainly no reason why he should forget a fellow role-holder if he had ever met one.
At her inquiry, he nearly chuckled, wondering the same thing himself at the moment. Of course, he was fine, merely puzzled as to his current whereabouts. He looked about as he spoke, tone entirely smooth.
"Thank you for your concern, young lady. I must say that I appear to be quite lost. Would you happen to know the way back to Heartland?"
He certainly had a pristine appearance about him and something that screamed proper. Though having such a cool and collected appearance to him, plus a smooth voice just about sent her into a mild daze. Was her face a little flushed?
Well, nothing that certainly couldn't be blamed on the heat outside.
"Oh! You just looked like you were thinking about something." Rubs the back of her head shyly, before looking at him curiously. The name didn't sound familiar at all. Another newcomer from another world she took it.
"I'm sorry I don't, but welcome to Somarium all the same. We seem to be getting a lot more people popping in lately..."
Blood knows he's quite charming, and certainly uses the fact to his advantage. Watching the girl grow flustered was entertaining, to say the least. But he won't comment on it, since he wants to maintain the suave persona. Instead, he'll continue to smile in a charming manner while addressing the young lady.
At the mention of Somarium, a brief look of confusion crosses the Hatter's face. He had certainly never heard of such a place. Had he somehow hopped down the rabbit hole into an entirely new world? The utter notion was quite preposterous. He shakes his head briefly before speaking.
"Might I ask, young lady, where exactly this 'Somarium' is and why so many people are arriving here at this time?"
Mako couldn't help it and it's hard for her not to make it look so obvious. It's the heat she SWEARS. After her heart simmers down a little she processed his question that was usually a typical question for all the new people to ask when they popped in. I mean she was one of them herself.
"Somarium is a dream world. The only way for you to be here is if you're sleeping....same with any others that have came here lately as well. So, as of right now you're dreaming."
Of course, she still doesn't get the whole dream within a dream scenario, but that's about as much sense she could really make from it, especially from what Serenity has told her.
"I see. Then none of this is real, I suppose. What a pity." He crosses his arms, a bemused look overtaking his face.
"It appears as though you are correct, young lady. We are all quite lost indeed. I suppose I should enjoy myself while I'm here the, shouldn't I?" After all, if he was sleeping, this should be over quite soon. Truly a pity indeed. He would've liked to explore this strange dream world a bit more.
"Well, it feels real enough. From what I'm told you won't remember a thing when you wake up, but there's no telling when that might be." Smiles brightly.
"Well, that's a good attitude to have. Maybe you might even come across a friend or two here. You'd be surprised." He just might get to do that well enough. Certainly he'll find himself being here for more than a couple of hours.
"Oh, you can call me Makoto by the way." No need to be so...formal.
"How intriguing this world is." He muses with a smirk.
At the mention of friends, he gets the urge to laugh. Because friends; what are those? Elliot and the twins are the closest thing he probably has to those, and even that would be a stretch.
He smiles in his usual manner. "Miss Makoto then. A pleasure. My name is Blood Dupre. I must thank you for your assistance."
"Well, compared to some I've been in. It's not terribly strange." Dimensional jumps and all that. Though honestly she's been in a dream world, just not quite like this one.
That's a interesting name. "Oh...! You don't have to thank me. It was really nothing."

"Um, excuse me, but are you alright?"
