Aal still slightly squints, well so long as there weren't any threatening movements. She still shudders a little and leans into her Hatter's shoulder and side. As Dor gently but warmly wraps his arm tighter /slung around her.

"Oh, I would not be surprised," Aal murmurs warmly and nods softly. Blinking again the word niggles at her mind. "and thank you ever so much for the chocolate." She adds thinking she should.

Dor's lips twitch slightly, his eyes slightly hood. As he gazes down at his Aalice half adoringly and pleased. Before glancing over at the lad again.

If Aal understood such she would have very wholeheartedly agreed. She also normally had a soft spot for such.

The current semi Hatter, sweeps the area with his gaze wondering if any of their Wonderlandian or Other wise friends were about as well. Mmh perhaps when they were in safer areas he should check the teapots for his wee mate. The Dormouse especially had a fondness for sleeping in such.
