No, it wasn't at all. Did you see the little bird? What in the world would a bird such as that be doing in the middle of the ocean, I wonder? Leave one to think, perhaps all that we see isn't truly real.
I do seem to recall something about a storm coming.
I do think you're quite right, it seems as if everytime you turn around there's something to discover, or rediscover here. I quite like this ship, though I do think the Captain really ought to rethink a few things.
Strange how it only lasted one night, don't you think? I think something else might be coming, or has already come and we simply do not realize it yet. What about you?
[...What that isn't ALL but it figures very prominently into her daily routines at around four o'clock.]
Splendid! Then I shall see you soon in Sergeis', though do hurry if you'd like your scones to still be warm. [Alice takes over whatever kitchen is available at the time.]
[When he gets there, Alice is currently holding a basket full of pastries with one hand, balancing a tray on the other hand and has one foot in the air as she shuts the oven door. She really wishes she had more hands sometimes.]
Why thank you! [You're really terribly sweet, you know. She gestures eagerly for him to sit, then points. That tray you were holding had two teapots on it.]
Now, I didn't have time to make more than this, but lets see...one is your basic, simplistic and ever so classic Earl Grey, whose flavor and smell that derives from the addition of oil from the rind of the bergamot orange. You might like it, but if you don't there's always this- [She lifts the lid and sniffs.]
This one is more of a fruit tea, I personally prefer the forme,r but this is rather tasty, too.
[Kevas takes a seat and looks at both tea pots. He has no idea what he's doing when it comes to this. The only tea he's ever had was thistle tea and that takes...an acquired taste.]
T'ink I'll try da ladymon's favrite and go from dere.
[The smile crawls slowly across her face as she watches him make his decision. In a fluid motiom, she picks up the tea pot and tilts it to pour the contents into a cup, then she nudges the full cup in his direction and pours herself one.]
There you are - now some people do add a bit of sugar, I personally don't like a lot added but I find a cube or two isn't so overwhelming.
Splendid! I am so glad you like it - it's really one of my very favorites. It's really become all the rage, and is named after the second Earl Grey (Charles, I think his name was), the British Prime Minister back in the oh, the thirties, I'd think - I sometimes can't keep my history straight, it seems.
That is an excellent way to look at things, you know - this is only temporary, and while I do admit that I miss my Hatter very much, it's really probably best that he went home, so that he can help Mirana with getting Underland back on its feet. The Red Queens reign was terribly oppressive and violent, you know - why, just to get into the castle I had to cross a moat and jump from decapitated head to decapitated head!
Why, it's the most curious of all curious places! I had never seen anything like it, and even though this boat itself has quite the array of oddities, I still rather think that Underland takes first place in the curious department. Talking flowers, the Bandersnath oh! And of course, the rabbit in a waistcoat (Nivens, that's his name) who had cake that makes you grow and drink that makes you small - why, I can honestly say that had I not visited Underland, I might never have been stuffed into a teapot or towered over anyone else, period. It's a marvelous place Kevas, and it's beautiful too - even during the Red Queen's reign it was still such a sight to see.

[insert cheesy 80s music here]
Well, I certainly hope that it doesn't get too terrible around here, it would be quite frustrating if it interrupted my daily tea time.
Speaking of which, would you perhaps to like to join me for some?
[starts playing The Touch]
All she's worried about is having her tea time interrupted? Oh Alice he loves you. He really does.]

Splendid! Then I shall see you soon in Sergeis', though do hurry if you'd like your scones to still be warm. [Alice takes over whatever kitchen is available at the time.]

There we are, all better. This way-!
[And she'll lead him out into the main room and over to a little table she's set up for tea service. Isn't she thoughtful?]
no subject
He can be thoughtful too.]
