"I....
I'll see what I can do."--------------------
Cheshire had followed Alice's instructions on how to make it to the dining room without having to ask Queenie, which was good. While he suspected she was always watching him, he didn't like to catch her attention more than necessary. He stepped into the room alone, but was immediately greeted by all the faces he remembered from the Gymnasium, seated around an
ornate table that was a complete juxtaposition to the sterile environment around it.
There were two empty seats left, one at an end of the table which was opposite the end where Caterpiller was seated lazily akimbo, his legs thrown over the arm of the chair while they awaited their dinner.
He appeared to be smoking a pipe, though the large clouds he was producing idly suggested it wasn't traditional despite the smell of cherry tobacco slowly filling the room around him.
The other open seat was between Hatter and Alice. Knowing he was far too new to warrant an end seat, Cheshire made his way to the open spot between the two girls.
Dormouse sat next to Caterpiller with her head on the smooth surface of the table, her eyes heavy lidded and dangerous close to nodding off.
Knave sat next to her, dangerously still. Like a mantid awaiting it's prey. It seemed like there could be space for more one chair across the table, but there was not an open chair there, suggesting only one more person was unaccounted for currently.
