Aster came over to her, a pleasant smile on his face. "I didn't expect to see you here." He said, bowing lightly.
Aster came over to her, a pleasant smile on his face. "I didn't expect to see you here." He said, bowing lightly.
Charlotte jumped, turning to face him. "You nearly gave me a heart attack," she complained.
He laughed softly. "Oh. Sorry." He said.
She shook her head. "It's fine, I was just being dramatic."
He smiled. "Ah. Having fun?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.
Charlotte shrugged. "Not really," she answered honestly. "I really haven't had any fun since coming here."
He nodded. "Mm. Want me to show you around? Might be able to find something you like."
Charlotte shrugged. "I'm probably not supposed to do that. Well, let's go, then," she said, opening the door and slipping out.
Aster followed her, then took the lead. "Follo me." He said softly.
Charlotte nodded. "Where are we going?" She questioned curiously.
"You'll see." He replied.
Charlotte sighed. "I don't like surprises, Hatter," she groaned.
He laughed. "Lottie, I'm the grandson of the Mad Hatter. I'm full of surprises." He said. "It's okay if I call you Lottie, right?" He glanced at her.
Charlotte hesitated before nodding. "I've never had a nickname before. It's rather nice."
He nodded, and kept walking. "Alright." He said with a small smile.
Charlotte sighed. "How much longer?" She whined.
"Time is relative." He replied.
"That doesn't make sense," Charlotte replied, slightly annoyed. She hated things that didn't make sense.
He grinned. "This is Wonderland. It isn't supposed to make sense!"
Charlotte growled frustratedly. "I know this is Wonderland. And I don't care. When things don't make sense, then they have to be fixed, and if you can't fix them, then you get rid of them, or - " she winced, realizing what she was doing. "Sorry."
Aster was silent for a long moment. "I see." He said simply, and continued walking without further comment.
Charlotte put her hands over her face. "This was a bad idea, I - I should go back to my room."
"We're nearly there." Aster replied. "Look, and then you can leave if you still want to."
Charlotte sighed, wrapping her arms around herself. "If I get in trouble, I'm blaming you."
"Okay." He replied simply. He led her through a narrow hallway.
