So she was indeed Alice Liddell, and Break was aware that that brought their total number of Alice's in this world to three. It might have been amusing, except that Break found it so very peculiar that of all books, a children's fairy tale seemed to be one with the largest impact on other worlds. But now that he had a very reliable source for more information on said books, he was determined to find out why...And if such information could be used to predict the events of his own world. She was clearly a polite young girl--but that was not so surprising, for she had been that way in the book--and so Break smiled and replied, "A pleasure to meet you, Miss Alice. My name is Xerxes Break."

And he bowed in response, for a good impression needed to be made if he planned to use her for information.

Giants, though? He considered this, looking around, but he gathered quickly what she thought. The buildings were far taller than any he'd seen, but he had figured out that they were, quite simply, used to house more people in less space, not to

As Alice searched around the room, Break had closed the door and turned his attention to the kettle that rested on the stove. If there was one thing he had learned as a servant to the Rainsworth ladies, it was how to make a proper cup of tea. However, while he waited for it to heat up, he turned back to Alice, and he smiled at her excited question.

"Such curious things, are they not? But no, I did not create these things. They were here when I arrived~" he answered easily, watching her with one sharp, red eye, though his expression was little more than amused.

"What is it all!" she said as she continued to look at everything, holding Basil close. "Everything is terribly peculiar, who made everything? Was it just simply here when you came across these rooms? Are all the rooms like this?" she asked with amazement. Her curiosity got the better of her and she went into the kitchen. Her eyes widened and she turned to look at Xerxes.

"What... is everything?" She couldn't believe how everything looked and how... strange everything was!

So many questions! What a curious child she was. Not that Break was at all surprised for this, of course. She was Alice, after all.

"This was indeed all here. It is quite likely that you shall come across some similar devices when you are in your own home," Break answered simply. He would tackle the other questions after.

But before he could, the kettle hissed, but did not screech, for Break was quick to pick it up and pour the heated water into the cups.

As he made the tea, he told Alice, "Why don't you have a seat, Miss Alice? We can discuss everything over tea, of course~"

She went over to the chair and sat down, careful of her skirts as she watched Xerxes pour the hot water into the tea cups. She hoped she would get to have some tea this time. She could still remember not getting a single drop whilst with the Mad Hatter. But Xerxes wasn't the Hatter so it was of little issue. She rested her hands in her lap and watched him with curiosity. Alice knew how to make tea of course, but she had never seen tea be made on such a curious looking stove. Which she was rather sure was what the contraption was

"But of course, Miss Alice," Break answered. "It is black tea, of course~" And as that was quite enough information, he disappeared for a moment, before returning with cream and sugar. Lady Sharon's tastes, after all, often ran closer to sweetening her tea with such things, and Break would not have been surprised if Alice was the same way. He set the other objects on the table, within her reach, and only then did he take his seat.

Then Break said, "You are quite welcome. Surely it was the least I could do~"
