[She crouches down and scratches behind his ears and under his chin.] I'm sure I would be surprised. But you seem perfectly fine, Cheshire. As cryptic as ever, in fact.
[He's pleased to hear as much. It's not the kind of thing he'd wish on her again]
Glimpses here and there, but most not quite right. Older, younger, different faces and new voices but there's always a little bit of you in all of them.
I can make you one with her as a brunette, if you'd like?
I'm not sure about either... but one is only slightly taller than me. She knows nothing about Wonderland. Then the other Alice, she was dragged to Wonderland by the White Rabbit who is also called Peter. And then the one Alice is a boy only we've renamed him Elly. And then the very last Alice is a brunette and very pale!
Well, she doesn't even seem to care. She's from a place called the Abyss. You know what the most curious thing is about her, though? She can actually turn INTO a black rabbit!
Are you sure her Abyss isn't similar to your Wonderland? Or a Wonderland at the very least, though some as are far from wonderful as teacups are from Bolterflies.
Well, the strange thing is, she has a Cheshire Cat. There's a hatter, and even a Jabberwock! But... just no Wonderland. Well... maybe it is a Wonderland. But no one has explained the Abyss to me. It's just "I'm from the Abyss" or they know about this "Abyss" and little else is said.
