Locke let out a sigh of annoyance and began to follow Locke into the forest as well. He didn't like him too much but it seemed thato nothing could persuade him. "You do like cause trouble, don't you?" He asked as he caught up to him, pushing up his glasses.
"Troubles my middle name" He says with a wink. "Anyway, nice glasses pretty boy." He says sarcastically.
Locke gave him an unammussed glance out of the side of his eyes. "What's the point of a complement if it becomes negative with the tone?" Locke asked.
(AaAaaaAAAAAhhhhhh! I can't decide who to ship with Chess more! Maddie or Locke!)
(rotfl!!!!)
(Huehuehue)
"Here, I'll do it better this time" he says as a grin curved up his lightly tinted lips. He steps in front of him. "I like your glasses…pretty boy," he says then quickly turns around and continues to walk, humming to himself while he's at it.
Locke stopped abruptly when Chess stopped him. He had a slight look of shock on his face before Chess turned around. He stared off into space a bit, confused before catching back up to him. "That was slightly better." He said.
"Good. Though I was striving for perfection. Any tips?" He says biting his lip slightly as he walked.
Alexander rolled his eyes and kept walking. “So Thalia, you’ve been kind of quiet, what do you think?” he asked her conversationally.
"Not particularly. I'm not the best with complements either." Locke admitted.
"How booooring," he says tipping his head back and looking at the trees above them. He turned around and started to walk backward, facing Locke.
"So what's your name again? Sorry, I don't know how I managed to forget your name. Having such an attractive face and all. Though I guess I'm not the best with names.
Maddie had been watching the strange conversation only half paying attention as she kept up with the group. ”I don't remember it either. I’ve just been calling him Blue in my head.”
Locke gave Chess a look of irritation yet there was a barely visible blush on his face. "It's Locke." He said, running his thumb on a small metal stick. When did he get that?
"Oh wow. That's actually pretty cool for a name." He says grabbing a leaf from a nearby tree, twirling it in between his fingers.
(Sorry all, I left for a day. What's happened?)
(not much honestly. THeyre walking through the forest now and Locke and Chess had some sort of flirting….thing. Who nows what that was lol. But uh, yeah…..)
(since you hadn’t said anything for a lil bit i had alexander ask thalia a question lol)
(Thanks lol)
Thalia snapped out of her thoughts and smiled at Alexander. "Just taking it all in. It's still a bit much. What are we supposed to do know that we are here?"
“Slay the Jabberwocky?” Alexander said. “I dunno. The letter wasn’t super detailed. Maybe if we meet other characters they can help us figure out how?”
(Did it say what each of their roles were in the letter? Since Thalia is Alice, she should feel a connection to the Jabberwocky right?)
”So… Does that mean that we’re going to see Marchie after all?” Maddie asked, almost sounding like a child asking for her favorite toy or something.
(yes and yes)
“That’s fine with me,” Alexander commented. “He could be helpful for us in the long run.”
(I may be an idiot for asking bit, who's marchie?)
(march hare)
"What did you expect?" Locke asked, curious about what he would of expected. Probably something like Peter.
