Chapter Two- ABCs.
*
"Absolutization" The Hatter started. We often tended to play this game, he would start off with a letter for one word and I would continue with another. For some reason, he always found a fascination with word games, pondering words, learning new ones, anything to do with them really.
"Badderlocks" I continued, the game always found a way to be amusing.
"Cahoots!"
"Daggerboard!"
"Eastwardly!"
"Fabulating!"
"Gabbroic!
"Habitués!"
"Iatrogenesis!"
"Jardinière!"
"Kaffeeklatsch!" The Hatter blurted out, loudly. A mad grin was sprung across his face as he turned to me.
"Ah! You didn't pick your favorite word this time?" I raised an eyebrow, a smile on my face as well.
"My favorite word? I have many favorite words, my dear! It all depends what letter I am mulling over that day. Morose, lollygag, there are many indeed! Which one may you be referring to dear Alice?" He laughed wildly. He had such a bright personality, sometimes I wondered how someone could have such a personality. Although, anything was indeed possible in wonderland.
"Your favorite word that starts with K of course!" I replied sitting up from under the willow tree. He sat up as well so we were looking at the fading sunlight in the distance. He looked at me a little skeptically for a moment before I continued. "Kisses!" I laughed in response to his toothy grin that became all to familiar.
"Ahh, how could I forget? Do excuse me, I can be a bit mad sometimes." He chuckled. I responded with a small laugh and leaned forward. He met me half way as I pressed my lips lightly to his for a brief moment before pulling away.
When I looked back at him his smile was much softer and much less mad. "Would you care to finish this game inside over a nice cup of tea?" He asked standing up and outstretching a hand to me.
"Of course." I smiled, taking his hand as we both left the wonderful land for the night and went into the small house where tea was always on the table.
