Aliana had a tenative smile on as they continued on. She felt a bit better about the maze, but still was wary.

Hatta began to whistle again. The pathway was slowly becoming less overgrown and more clear.

Aliana watched as the pathway cleared and her worries slowly started to grow again, "This is going to work right?"

"Hopefully." Hatta replied with a quick shrug. "If it doesn't, then Wonderland gets eaten by a big monster."

"And I don't want that," Aliana responded quickly confirming her head.

"Well duh. I don't think anyone wants that." Hatta laughed, shaking his head a little.

Aliana blushed slightly as she scratched at her neck, "Yeah. I was just trying to get myself ready."

Hatta smiled. "Yeah, I know. Don't worry so much. Everything will be fine." he replied, still walking along the pathway.

"I can't help it," Aliana was able to walk with him, but it felt like the whole area was getting colder. At least it did to her, "I'm someone who worries that everything will go wrong when it can."

Hatta shrugged slightly. "Maybe don't worry so much, then? I don't know. Just go with the flow a little more."

That's a lot harder than you make it sound," Aliana shivered slightly as the temperature continued to drop, "Is it getting colder to you?"

Hatta blinked. "Mm. A little. Do you need a coat?" he replied, looking at her. There was frost in the grass now.

"Do you have a spare one?" Aliana asked hugging herself, "Becuase I would love one."

"Yup." He took off his hat and reached inside. He sighed softly, and pulled out a coat. It would be a bit big for her, but was better than nothing. He held it out to her.

Aliana took the coat gratefully, "Thank you." She took her backpack off for a moment to put the too-big jacket onto her body. She put her backpack back on top of the jacket and melted into the warmth it brought.

Hatta nodded. "Mhm. You're welcome." he replied with a little shrug. He kept leading her down the path. "I hope the entire maze isn't like this, though."

"I hope so too," Aliana responded, "Otherwise I'll be a popsicle halfway through."

Hatta chuckled. "I'm sure you would make a delicious popsicle." he replied with a cheeky smirk.

Aliana felt her cheeks heat up compared to the outside air, "No I wouldn't."

Hatta smirked again. "You sure? You look like you would." he replied, looking over at her.

"No," Aliana insisted her cheeks growing redder by the second, "I'm positive I wouldn't taste good."

Hatta raised his eyebrows. "Shall I test that out?" he asked, taking a step closer. "Just a taste test?"

Her face was flushed red, but she didn't try to run from him. Her voice stuttered, "What do you mean by that?"

Hatta grinned teasingly. "I don't know." he replied almost innocently, but the smirk about his lips indicated otherwise.

Aliana laughed slightly though it was partly from nerves, "Oh you know very well what you mean."
