I have been trying my best to be a respectable house cat these days, but it seems no matter my intent, such a thing simply isn't quite the role for me.

For those who would not know, The Duchess has arrived. A most polite Mistress, so, Alice? Pray cease trying to give me away, would you? There's no loophole for you anymore

What is this...

[mad_here]

Exactly what... are you trying to do?

[mad_here]

Could you...

[mad_here]

You couldn't be...

[chosered]

The Duchess?

I know her.

[mustbemad]

Do you truly now?

[mustbemad]

Ah- that was rude.

Of course you do! And glad to, no?

[chosered]

She seems very nice. A little young.

[prefers_chess]

Ah. So that's why you asked.

[mustbemad]

You see?

I am her pet, after all.

[prefers_chess]

Her pet. So you're a cat?

[mustbemad]

I am. The Cheshire Cat, in fact.

[stillthequeen]

I hardly see why petting you would require a charge. Why would one pay for the possibility of fleas, I wonder...?

[mustbemad]

Alice has always inquired after vets for me- no fleas here.

[stillthequeen]

... Is that so.

[mustbemad]

Isn't he overly kind that way?

[the_alice]

You actually think that people would be willing to pay to pet you?

[mustbemad]

Don't you find them fetching?

voice ][

[the_alice]

They're nice enough, I'm sure. But in my experience most cats enjoy being pet enough that charging seems a bit...silly.

[mustbemad]

Do you have another idea for me, then?
