I'm sorry for this super short chapter. I hope you enjoy it!
Roy – er, Mustardseed threw open a door and we landed in with a grunt. Daphne got up and rubbed her butt.
"That hurt!" she cried, rubbing her sore arm.
"Oops. My bad."
Before he shut the door, Moth came by and stopped him, whispering something into his ear. He nodded and looked at Alice.
"Get out Caillait. Moth here needs to talk to you."
Alice reluctantly got up.
"Swear not to kill me?"
Moth rolled her eyes.
"Promise."
Alice walked out, her pretty eyes [how many times have I said her eyes are so NICE?] flashing a warning.
"I swear, if you mess with me, I know karate." She said, walking off with Moth.
Mustardseed leaned on the wall and looked at us coolly.
"A Jabberwocky eh?"
"Yeah. When you go to Ferryport Landing, these things are quite normal."
"No thank you. I prefer to keep my freedom." He replied smartly. We sat in silence for a while, and then Granny decided to ask the gutsy question.
"How'd you and Alice meet?"
Mustardseed's eyes widened.
"Why do you ask?"
"Well, obviously you have met before. Usually, she doesn't hate someone before she knows them."
"You act like you know her better." He said, not paying attention to what he was saying.
"I do." Granny said, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"I was her boyfriend, I knew her the best!" Mustardseed said, not before sitting up straight and looking at us with wide eyes.
"You two were boyfriend and girlfriend?" Daphne asked, giggling.
He put his head in his hands.
"NO! We weren't….not that way…I – I – UGH."
I felt myself smirk, "Care to explain how you met?"
"Do I have a choice? One, your little marshmallow would most likely hound me until I tell you. Second, Alice would tell you. Third and finally, I would end up telling you after some tragic love adventure to save Alice or something. Might as well tell you now."
We moved around so we could be settled.
Mustardseed opened his mouth and Daphne said, "Is it scary?"
"No. So-"
"Sad?"
"Can you wait until I start?"
"Is it full of action?"
"Shut-"
"Is it funny?"
"Up-"
"Is it like the Korean dramas Granny watches? I think they're stupid. I mean, someone always dies from a sickness, cancer or some car accident. It's so weird-"
Mustardseed groaned and glared at us, as if it was our fault we decided to bring her along.
Which it was, actually.
Oh ho! Let's see if I can finish another chapter ;]
