After jovially smoothing down his ruffled feathers, you couldn't help but shake your head. For some reason, laughing felt so... Foreign.
But nice.
When the Hatter graciously opened the door to the bathroom, you were pretty sure you had stars in your eyes. The bath- Yes, he actually made a bath, not a shower!- was luxurious and wide; More than enough room to stretch out and relax...
A musical chuckle wafted past your ear, and you absently wondered when he got so close.
But you didn't care.
It was bath time!
"I didn't think I'd ever see that look on the proud little Queen's face." He mused humorously, dancing back a step. "It's a pleasure to serve, little Queen, but I must take my leave.

You started to grab onto your 'hospital clothing' as he put it- You snorted- More like 'mental hospital'- but something stopped you in your tracks, making your face feel hot.
Why? Why does things like this always happen?...
You coughed, and poked your head around the door, worrying your already-bloody lip between your teeth.
"...Hatter? Ah- C-Can you help me get out of this? I can't reach..."
