Will barely had a chance to settle before what they were looking for happened in front of him.
As was the standard in this club, as Hatter made her announcement the next dancer came through a doors between stages, and 'Cheshire' was revealed to be Basil. Literally, because they could actually see him. Not just his clothes, his person.
His body had changed. The lanky but formerly soft boy with only vague muscle structure was now 'cut' in a way that he previously wasn't, which actually left him seeming even thinner than he had before. Probably all the dancing, as it did tend to give one a core workout. At the moment he was dressed fully from head to toe, a black dress shirt with a magenta tie, dance slacks, and a pair of platforms that made the already tall man just slightly taller. If Sam was looking to go for 'tall mommy from the internet' imposing, she was going to have to pull some fancy work while the crowd wasn't looking to kick it up a notch.
Currently 'Cheshire' wasn't paying any attention to her, Will or Jez, his own attention being engrossed with someone in the crowd that at first only he could see. As she passed close by the main stage with a tray of cocktails in her hand, he slowly his swung around the pole to glide in sync with her walking pace. Once he got her attention, he'd flash her a smile while he was upside down, his tie and curls both succumbing to gravity as he did, making the whole thing just a little bit silly to look at.
It didn't take a telepath to realize what he was doing. 'Hey, Alice. Look at what I can do. Watch how high I can climb on the jungle gym, Alice.'
