Santa isn't the only one with a list, checking it twice. Only, Hatter's is primarily groceries, with the odd Christmas present thrown in. Unfortunately, this is stressing him out, and he's wired beyond belief

You're going to bleed eggnog if you keep drinking it at that rate.

=D

[passthetophat]

Oh- uh.

[He furrows his brow. This was, what, supposed to be his daughter, right? He strategically and intelligently sticks the carton behind his back.]

Drinking is... bad.

Privyet, not!father /o/ I did not choose G this time.

[anastynastya]

[ Anastasia rolls her eyes and starts reaching for the carton. You'll have to be faster than that. ]

That all depends on what kind of drink it is.

This time, it only went to secret!F xD

[passthetophat]

Right. [He smiles, then frowns, in quick succession. It deepens when she snatches his eggnog, and he pouts a little.] How old are you? And why are you never here, young lady?

Pleeeeeeeease tell me there is rum in there. Pleeeeeease be in a generous mood for an attractive stranger.

[Look at her batting her lashes and smiling. She's soooo thirsty.]

[passthetophat]

[He laughs and holds up a spare carton.]

Plenty of rum, but I've only got eyes for one very pretty girl.

Under attack from holiday stress, then?

[onteamdyson]

Thankyouthankyouthankyou! [She gratefully accepts the carton and starts drinking it right then and there. Eggnog is like an addiction.]

Oh, really? What's her name? What's your name, while we're at it?

More like frazzled new kid trying to adjust to the town. I'm Kenzi.

[passthetophat]

[He looks a little amused and a little impressed when she starts chugging his carton.]

I'm sorry to hear that. I remember when I first got here. Crazy stuff.

[He held out a hand.]

I'm Hatter. And her name is Alice.

[Alice is out shopping for groceries as well. When she spots Hatter she walks right on over. She immediately notices how jumpy he is.]

Hey, are you okay?

[passthetophat]

[He lets out a very manly scream, and sticks a box behind his back.]

Alice! Me! Oh, fine. Yeah. Great. Brilliant. Just, doing... shopping. Shopping is all I'm doing.

Bit of shopping.

[not_oflegend]

[She gives him a curious look, but doesn't bother trying to peek behind him.]

Shopping, hm? Me too. What exactly are you shopping for?

[passthetophat]

[Good, because he's backing up a bit to stuff the box into a clothes rack, before oh-so-nonchalantly putting his hands on his hips.]

Nothing. [Said casually, with a nice little laugh.] Just, you know, stuff. Not important.

[Strides forward and slings an arm over her shoulder, steering her away.] What about you?
