[ The Queen is currently in Wonderland, having tea outside a small tea shop. Yes, well, she didn't really waste that much time ordering for executions that won't happen anyway. Might as well sit down, rest her feet that have been wearing high heels all day and have tea

I was not loitering.

[ tilting her head slightly, because. what is this train of thought? ]

♥

[coercively]

Very well. 'Strolling around'.

[ she sips tea while waiting for her to, well, sit down. ] Well? Will you not join Us?

♥♥

[homuhomuchan]

[ not quite it either, but. . . ]

. . . .

[ moving to sit down now then. ]

[coercively]

[ she waits for a moment, expecting that someone would serve her as it usually was the case at the Castle, only to realize that she has to do the pouring.

well, no matter. this one is rather cute anyway. ]

What is your name, child?

1/2

[heartnotation]

[ "uselessly loitering"? ]

[heartnotation]

I was just headed home [ if he can even call it a "home" yet. ], but sure! What kind of tea are we having?

[coercively]

Black tea. We insist that you try it.

[ she gives him an appraising look as she takes a sip. ] 'Headed home'? Are you, by any chance, a resident of this country?

[heartnotation]

Thank you! I'll do that. [ he's going to take a seat now. ]

No, I've just arrived here a few days ago, actually. [ ... ] Since you're talking to me, you're not from this city either, huh?

[halfgrin]

[was actually probably loitering nearby, if only because he was listening in on her . . . conversation. he can already piece together a few pieces, but... ah, well.]

Oh, I don't know. Tea would suit someone such as yourself much more than it would suit me.

[coercively]

[ vivaldi lifts an eyebrow. those ears-- is he somehow related to boris??? ]

If not tea, then pray tell what would suit you.

[halfgrin]

Well, it wouldn't do much good for me to ask for anything but tea while at a tea shop, would it?

[coercively]

No, We suppose not.

[ frowns thoughtfully. ] But if tea does not suit you, then you have Our permission not to drink it. Your company would suffice.

[ She happened to have spotted a very haggard young man who didn't get any sleep the prior night. He wobbles to a slow stop-- taking a few seconds before he realizes he was addressed before his head turns in the general direction of the voice. ]

Ah--?

[ Lifting a hand to rub it over his eyes a bit. ]
But I wasn't ...

[coercively]

You weren't -- ? It is terribly rude to leave one's sentences hanging and the other party wondering.

[ vivaldi gives him a look-over. tired eyes, an uncertain weight in every step, that drowsy look. ]

Are you well?

[aliceinname]

[ Fuuu but it has been a while since he had any 'tea'... when was the last time? With Hatter? Or was it with the Duchess? ]

A-ah... sorry.

[ Like some scolded child he kinda avoids any eye contact, rubbing at one sleeved arm. That is until that last question hangs in the air-- suddenly he festers up a grin-- ! HE'S SO OKAY! HE TOTALLY DIDN'T SLEEP OUTSIDE OVER NIGHT. ]

Of course! I'm great~! I've just had a long day! A lot of traveling and sight seeing! [ Nah, he's just been lost, wandering around. ]

[coercively]

[ Vivaldi frowns at that grin. Why does it look so much like peter white's when he's done some foolish deed to annoy Alice once more? ]

We have heard that excuse before from Our knight who has no sense of direction.

[ She pours herself a cup of tea then pours another for this young gentleman. ] Will you not heed Our request to join Us for tea?

[carrotdishes]

[ of all people to bring :( he actually thinks of creeping away before he's seen, but . . . this is kind of sad. ]

Blood takes his tea really seriously, you know. And those people [ pointing to a local ] aren't even going to listen to you.

dkj I HOPE THIS IS OKAY...

[halfgrin]

[was over there--> even if elliot might not have noticed it before, as that's how cheshire rolls.]

Ah, a rabbit.

1/2 ahaha it's fine

[coercively]

[ elliot march.

not really the face she wanted to see first upon arriving here but does that mean her baby brother's here too? ]

You need not tell Us. We have no use for this information. [ but even before she could comment on that part about the locals -- ]

[coercively]

Have you not seen a rabbit before?
