“H-Hi.”, Scarlet, stammered, dropping into a curtsy out of habit.

The Mad Hatter really didn't need to know my name. Cade thought. Let's just hope he's not really mad as his title entails…

The Mad Hatter flinched at 'the queen of hearts' bit. "Don't worry. She ran away to get away for her mom." Nykidia tried to explain. "O-Oh OK." "We need to help her hide. Do you know where the brown hair dye is?" "Uuummmm I believe it is underneath the kitchen sink."

Scarlet shifted awkwardly, noticing the Hatter flinch. She wondered if she should leave them alone, she was jeopardizing their safety.

"Thanks!" She said grabbing Scarlet's hand and pulling her to the kitchen, grabbing the bleach and brown hair dye and heading to the bathroom.

Cade stood outside for a few seconds, then wandered in after Nykidia and the princess.

Scarlet followed Nykidia, wincing as her injured arm brushed the wall. I should clean it.. it could get infected..

Cade saw the princess wince, drawing his attention to her injured arm. I should probably appologize…but I don't want them to think I'm a softie or anything. Then again, I do need to stay on their good side for now… He sighed. "Hey, sorry about your arm."

Scarlet’s eyes flicked to his for a moment, before she looked away. “It’s not a huge gash, it’ll heal,” she said simply.

"Hey, I actually appologized. You should be basking in the rarity of this moment." Cade joked.

Scarlet raised an eyebrow, allowing herself a small smile. “You also said that I deserved to be cut, so… I have mixed feelings, Mystery Boy.”

Wow, she has a really good memory. Maybe getting her on my good side will be a lot more difficult than I thought. Cade shook his head, trying to look sympathetic. "Listen, I was still in a lot of shock after your friend's weird illusion mishap. I appologize for saying that."

Scarlet raised her other eyebrow, debating whether or not to trust him yet. “Tell me your real name, then I might believe you. And I can usually tell if you’re lying.”

S**t. She sure is persistent, I'll give her that. He sighed, knowing he would dread giving her a real answer. "My name is Cade. Don't make me regret telling you that."

Her grin was wicked. “Cade? I’ll remember that.” Scarlet flicked a strand of hair out of her eyes, turning away again.

(Does Cade need aid with a blade?

I’m not actually asking that lol, I just thought it was cute that it rhymed. uwu)

Hiya

Virgil had been hanging in the back and once the others had moved, he waved to the Mad Hatter. "Hello." He said politely, he actually respected the Mad Hatter and wanted to make a good impression. "I'm Virgil."

Nykidia dragged Scarlet into the bathroom, left and came back with a stool. "Sit." she said gesturing to the chair as she got the dye stuff ready.

“Chelsea, huh?” Chelsea mused, so they haven’t… She glanced at the Mad Hatter, she should probably say hi as well. But only if no one else is around, too embarrassing.

Scarlet complied, staying completely still. “Thanks.”

Nykidia got the bleach and started to work away at her hair. Scarlet's hair started gradually turning from a bright red to a blonde.

Scarlet stayed completely still, inhaling and exhaling slowly. “How did you sleep?”

"I didn't," Nykidia said as she finished up. She looked at Scarlet. "You look nice with blonde. Are you sure you want brown?"

Scarlet nodded firmly. “My mother has blonde hair,” was all she replied, voice quiet.
