She enters with grace that one would not expect from someone covered in blood as she is. Some is the Cat's, and some her sister's, but most of the thick red stuff is her own. It's in her red hair, on her pale cheeks, all across her dress and staining the sword she carries

"...Momma." She whimpers almost before flinging herself at the woman. Never mind the blood, it's her mother. "Oh Issa, Momma."

[kindandstrong]

"Alyss." She wraps her arms around her daughter and strokes her hair. "Oh, look at you."

"You're beautiful, My Dear. You're alive. Hatter has taken good care of you then, Sweet?"

[transferoflight]

A beat. "Well enough. We've only just been reunited, but he left me safe and sound." She promises.

[kindandstrong]

"Good. Good." She clings to her daughter, rocking them side-to-side, possessive. "All grown up, just look..."

[delighteddad]

*just stops and stares a little, shocked by the sight of his wife covered in blood* --Gen...Genevieve?

[kindandstrong]

*pauses to collect herself and then approaches him, slowly* Nolan? Oh, Issa. She killed you, Nolan. I saw it. Are you real?

[delighteddad]

As real as you are, I should think. *steps forward and touches her cheek, very lightly* And you're real.

[kindandstrong]

*takes in a breath and moves her hand over his* And you are too. Oh, My King, it is wonderful to see you again...

[jarndyceheir]

Gallantry strikes again. He doesn't wish to interrupt her reunion, but he says politely, with concern, "Miss? Are you all right?" He never made it to full doctor, but he knows quite a bit about medicine. The bits he was paying attention to, anyway, but that much blood is definitely not a good sign.

[kindandstrong]

A pause. She bites her lip, gently. "I feel fine, Sir. The injuries seemed to have healed themselves...I'm only covered in the remains, I think."

[jarndyceheir]

He looks relieved. "That is good news. It appears you have been through quite the ordeal." He smiles, then catches himself, mildly horrified at being so familiar at a first meeting. "Beg pardon, that was horribly rude of me."

[kindandstrong]

"An ordeal indeed." She promises. "I thank you kindly for your concern, Good Sir." And she means it, it shows in her voice. A pause. "You're quite pardoned, Sir, I found no offense in it."

A young woman, dressed in jeans and a plaid flannel shirt, jumps to her feet. She turns as if she means to flee the room, but then looks back, open curiousity on her face.

Terisa stares at the mirror, and then finally at the regal woman who came through it. "You... came through a mirror, ma'am?" And then she's appalled at herself for speaking up and looks down. "I'm sorry. You're hurt."

[kindandstrong]

"I did." She answers, as if it were every day one tumbled out of a mirror. In Wonderland it was, after all.

"Not much...I think it's just gore now."

[terisaofmorgan]

"Are you from... Mordant?"

[kindandstrong]

"No, Lady. From Wonderland."

[killerhat]

Hatter is, to say the very least, quite surprised to see the Queen he had served faithfully for so many years, the Queen he knew to be dead, here in this place. And covered in blood no less.

"My Queen." There is an urgency in his voice as he rushes to the bloodied woman's side, pulling a healing rod from his Millinery coat. "Where are you hurt? What has happened?"

[kindandstrong]

"Hatter." She says it happily, grateful to see him and she shakes her head. "No. No, I'm not hurt...I'm...very much intact, more than I died in at least..."

[killerhat]

The Milliner nods curtly and bows his head in respect. "I was told what had happened. I must offer my deepest apologies; I had lost the Princess in the Pool of Tears. I only found her again recently, after spending years searching."

[kindandstrong]

"Your apologies, Hatter, are to Wonderland. I am but a tool to the country. My daughter is safe, and that is all I can ask for."
