Wonderland

When the bleeding boy had gone to grab Mari, Nora panicked, twisting her torso away from him. The cat plushy had been pulled closer into her, her wide emerald eyes frenzied and almost daring him to try to touch him. Nora had only two people she truly desired to protect, in any situation. Mari and Break were those two. She had no need though, Break pushing the man away with one powerful move, into the bushes. Her grip relaxed a little at the movement, turning her upper body back around.

"P-please don't touch M-mari," she whispered out, her downcast eyes trailing their way back to the bleeding boy. She was surprised to spot a rabbit desperately trying to draw the boys attention, having not really noticed him at all up to that point. Was he in trouble? Or was he just trying to bother him for amusement? Mari had told her of people like that before. "Who are these people?" she asked of her sister meekly, shying away from their forms
.

"Mother... I thought she was with the tailor. She needed a new dress for that festival apperance in a few days." The prince said. Break turned to Nora with a smile. "They're just morons. Don't woory about it." Her face became malicious again as she grabbed the boy by the collar. "Get me through the bushes, or else there will be no more Prince of Wonderland." She finished it off with a smirk, and he was secretly scared. He ran up to the bushes, and they cleared almost instantly. "I'll walk you through them. They move when someone who works with the Kingdom, or Royalty walks into them." Break pulled Nora along gently, walking beside the prince.

With cautious steps, Nora walked through the bushes of roses, tightening her grip on Break's hand the further in they went. It seemed strange to think something that looked so narrow on the outside could possibly extend so deep. Yet, there she was, already a good ten or so paces in with no clear exit before her. Had she suffered from claustrophobia as well, the place would have been the ultimate torture. Still, she couldn't help but be unsettled by its eerie nature.

"I-I'm sorry sir, but u-um what's your name?" Nora stammered out in a hardly audible voice, her cheeks stained a deep crimson. She couldn't think of much else to do to take her mind off the confined area and the idea had seemed rather intuitive before it had come out. After, it just seemed likely to result in a not very enjoyable experience.

Had it not been for the fact he currently inhabited a stuffed toy, Cassius would have been quick to show his pleasure with the girls movement. Though he enjoyed Nora's dependency on him, it was nice to see her working on furthering the excitement of his world. She still was nowhere near as talented at bringing about entertainment as Break though~

As Nora tightened her grip on Break's hand, Break felt the need to protect Nora more. If it was possible. They still hadn't reached the end of the bushes, and when Nora had started talking, it just felt shorter till they reached the end. "Don't worry about his name, Nora. We don't need to worry about the names of morons." Break said quietly, pushing the boy away as he tried to get closer. "I'm not a moron, and I believe her question was directed to me." He said, grabbing his arm where she had roughly pushed him away. Break stopped, and looked at the Prince. "Introduce yourself, and hurry up." Her voice was cold and filled with annoyence. "Fine. I'm Gilbert Red. Prince of Wonderland. You can call me Gil." He said with a smile, and an extended hand.

Mawata wonder amlessly through wonderland, she didn't know where she was going or why she just knew that she had to keep going. She held the story *Down the Rabbit hole* close to her body as she walked.
