2 ♕ The latest trend is extreme rejuvenation

[airshipswank]

[ Buckingham is currently channelling his boredom into elaborately eating a bowl of figs and drinking wine in whatever orphanage equivalent of the dining hall he got stuck in now.

He also finds that the mansion deserves to be updated on his displeasure and the terrible service it is presently providing. ]

Still not very festive, those events. And

I totally don't need anybody to take care of me!

[The connection of Poland's mannerisms with an apparently female child probably aren't too odd, considering the ubiquity of breeching in his time.]

[airshipswank]

[ Oh, of course not. Why, only recently Buckingham almost selected a lovely gown for a tinier Athos himself. But that is quite possibly neither here nor there... ]

Very big words for one so small.

[reckless_eagle]

[The blond laughs, confident to a fault.]

It totally doesn't matter if I'm little! I'm like, still way more hardcore than everybody, and I don't need to be looked after!

[He never was when he was really this age, either! Except by the Church. And some of his more parental-y bosses.]

[airshipswank]

Is that so?

[ He chuckles. Buckingham can appreciate the sentiment, at least.

And he can see a certain resemblance, now that he looks closer. Not too difficult, given that there aren't many here who have so much as a semblance of style, regardless of their age. ]

...Ah, but I do know you, don't I?

[ Quinn still isn't sure if she believes she is here or not, despite having gotten a brief rundown of how things work in ...Wonderland. She wouldn't have replied, but this guy...sexist much? And the cloths? ]

Seriously?

[ He can't be for real. ]

[airshipswank]

[ He inspects her curiously while chewing on a fig. ]

Your problem...?

[ Because there's one afoot, he can just smell it. Bizarre future ramblings, no doubt. ]

[quinniepuff]

You mean asides from the fact you're dressed like a clown and are being sexist?

[ At least he's got a nice face, but really what was up with the wardrobe? ...not that she can really talk, all things considered. ]

[airshipswank]

[ Bizarre future ramblings it is. Nope, didn't catch any of that.

Dressed. Let's focus on that then. Future people are notoriously disapproving of attractive clothing, after all. ]

A piece of advice in fashion, is it? Mhh, I like the hair, but... the rest does little to qualify you, I'm afraid.

[ He suspects ever so slightly that this may not have been her main point of criticism, but see if he cares... ]

[itsahotone]

[Oh hi there! Santana didn't hear any of that because she's busy running around after having gorged on candy and other sweet stuff. Therefore, she goes galloping into the very room Sir Stuffiness Buckingham is in, nearly crashes into the table, and slides to a stop.]

What are you eating?? [Is it more candy??]

[airshipswank]

[ My. What an... energetic young lady. ]

Those are figs.

[ He holds one up before taking a slow bite, watching Santana out of the corner of his eye. ]

[itsahotone]

Like in fig newtons?

[She wrinkles her tiny nose, moving closer to peer at the one he's eating. This means she is ALL UP IN YO BIZNISH, clearly preparing to climb right on him.]

It looks gross!

[airshipswank]

[ He turns his head slightly and shoots her a glare that strongly recommends against climbing him until the event is over oh wait trailing off here never mind ]

Does it now?

[ All the more reason to finish that one with gusto. Mmhh~ ]

[Babby Alice and her bunny are coming for food but...hm. :| There is a guy here.

Oh wait, she knows him.

Maybe.

She comes closer and looks at him quietly. You know you want to give her food Buckingham. You know you do.]

awwwwwwwwction;

[airshipswank]

[ Once the girl is spotted Buckingham returns a quiet stare until it occurs to him that she is familiar, less unpleasantly so than many others he encountered so far.

He takes the bowl from the table and extends it towards her. ]

...Fig?

[lingeringmedusa]

[She carefully takes one with a quiet "thank you". She pops it in her mouth, then makes a face. This is not a food she is familiar with. Still, she chews and swallows it.]

[airshipswank]

Not to your taste, Miss Alice?

E-Event spawn..?

[airshipswank]

[ A pause. Really? ]

...The children, who I presume will disappear in a few days.

[born_from_mist]

Oh... There are a-a lot more around but some of them look familiar.

[Well, at least Vivi isn't the shortest anymore.]

[airshipswank]

They strike me as older, normally. As far as I can tell.

[ Which brings us to: ]

...Though what you are I can't tell.
