Blue's definitely more my color than the dull brown I used to wear.
[It's been a while now that even he's not even sure, still a bit confused at what he's even capable of.]
I think so. It didn't take long for me to recover that one time, but ... well, it was a complicated time. Besides, I like using my stuff for happier things. Things that get people having fun, you know?
[ It's her favorite color, so she's allowed to be a little biased. ]
You? In brown? Why would you settle for desaturated colors? You shouldn't wear anything but blue. And especially something other than a waist coat and hat!
[ Oh, poor Jack, she thinks. Alice smiles. ] Those are good things -- powerful things, too. You're the opposite of Saber, but what you do is just as important. At least you can replenish your energy easy enough.
Oh, come on, don't you remember when you met me? All I had was plain brown. Wore it on my vest and cape until I disappeared and came back with the hoodie upgrade. [Which only happened in a week-long transition here, but it took him some time to make the switch on his end.
What you do is just as important. It certainly has him smiling.]
Well, if I can help people smile a little more then I think I'm okay with what I can do. Which, it looks like you're doing a lot more of that. Glad to see it.
I remember, yes, but I'm afraid I still have a bias for blue.
[ It's not like she wears it most of the time, anyway. Alice ducks her head, a little shy at the comment. She pushes her hair out of her face. Of course she's happy and ridiculously so. It feels weird, but it's a good kind of weird, for once. ]
I suppose it can't be helped -- even if it's a little silly to be happy about.
I should hope so; you and Her Majesty, miss Elsa look better in blues.
Ah? I'm not nervous. [ She doesn't think so, anyway. Is she? ] It's nothing to worry about, Jack, just lady things, I suppose. And you're a boy spirit, they would dull you, anyway.
We're like twinkling sapphires, aren't we? [He laughs a little.]
Lady things? Just cause I'm a guy, it doesn't mean I don't love some good gossip from my friends. And if it's good stuff, Alice, feel free to brag about it.
Oh, I said blues! Lots of blues! Dark and light, so it wouldn't be much like a sapphire. Like snow glistening in the sunlight or the dark night skies in winter. Maybe blue eyes, perhaps, though not so much either of you.
[ Leave it to Alice Liddell to correct someone on colors. It seems like a very Alice-like thing to do, regardless of how old she is. ]
Oh, um-
[ Alice wrings her hands, more importantly, she fiddles with the ring again. ]
I don't think it would be very lady-like to brag about a courtship. [ Alice partially covers her face to hide her flush. ] See? That's very boring!
[ Though not for her, she's explaining this to someone she's sure wouldn't be as interested in these things like a normal human. That has to be boring for someone his age, right? ]
Courtship!? [You bet that has his attention, more so than anything else at this point as his eyes light up, blue like the tones that Alice herself describes. He releases a small chuckle, filled up a sudden amusement at the subject.]
Oh, sure. So boring that little Alice suddenly has herself a boy. Do you really?
He is most certainly not a boy! [ Not anymore, anyway, but that's besides the point. Alice turns her head away as she flops her hands on her apron. ]
He is a knight! [ THIS WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO COME OUT THIS WAY. ] And he is his own person.
[ Since this is a new thing for her, she's really hesitant to refer Lancelot as her's. It feels silly to her to talk about someone as if they were a possession, in her opinion. ]
[ There's two things wrong with this: for one, she thinks he's serious for a second. The other being that Alice was about to correct him in saying she hadn't been a small child for every long. ]

He sees her concern and he sighs, offering a comforting smile.]
I ... no. Not often. The last time I used it was for getting rid of those shadow dogs a while back. But even then, I didn't go all out with it.

[ That is at least comforting to know. She wonders to herself what would take for Jack to wear out. She hopes that it never happens ]
And hopefully you won't have to go all out. But all you would need is rest, right?

Seeing her duck her head prompts a brow to raise, snickering a bit.] With you looking all nervous there, now you've definitely got me curious.

[Jack's laughing, but it's definitely not mockingly. He's more impressed than anything, his smile completely sincere as his chuckles settle down.]
That's so grown up. You're turning into an adult way too fast now. My heart is hurting!

What? I'm not going away!

Right, Jack? Alice lets out a small groan and buries her pink face in her hands. ]
He's a very famous one, too.
[ Not helping! ]
Oh, for goodness sakes.
