Later, much later, Red asks the princess and the cat if they believed her when she said her cloak way dyed with the blood of cheeky little girls.
They laugh, very, very nervously. And they say No, why? You were joking, right? You couldn't do that. You wouldn't kill little kids, Red.
She says, I didn't kill any little kids. It's just little-kid blood. Little-girl blood. The little girl is dead now.
The cat laughs. The princess looks scared. The cat says, Don't scare November like that. November, she's joking.
Red says, Of course I'm joking. Joking, it isn't blood. Ha. Ha. Ha.
Ha.
