Marty: [raising an eyebrow] I -- don't really like the idea of stuff out there that's more incomprehensible than the Fae.
Alice: Oh yes, trust me, I know. Some of the staff I hated most at Rutledge were the ones who pretended to be kind, but quietly delighted in their cruel treatments. I'd rather they be genuinely friendly so I'd have less to fear from knives in the back -- both metaphorical and literal.
Doc: Ah -- it must be a joy to get along with. [that is a lot of sarcasm for so few words]
Alice: [tilting her head] I suppose -- dealing with the riddles they talk in Wonderland has made my mind rather more flexible than normal. You ever want a mental workout, try talking to the White and Red chess pieces when they're in one of their "remembering the future" moods. [sighs, rolls eyes] I don't know how well I would fare with Neath ranting, but I might be able to fake understanding, at least. [smirks] Hats that bite -- sounds up the alley of my own mad Hatter. He could flung cups of explosive tea out of the top of his.
