Consider it a loving gesture for our new darling."[/i] With the Sentinels disappearing, the soul of the Puppeteer that she had absorbed gave her a bit of a boost in sensation as she rubbed the back of her neck and sighed contentedly. She had found her beloved little Alice -- and oh, what was this? The young one had questions! Oh well, she would have to fill in for that damned Hatter and Cat since neither of them were around to perform their jobs correctly. Where to begin...It seemed she had a general concept of what had just occurred at the least, thus her job was not as terrible as she assumed it so. [i]"Yes, dear Alice. That was a terrible Puppet controlling that human -- Marionette, to be specific in the terms they are called. In our eyes, they are but peasants trying to hurt our dear girl. Thus, we will protect you from them while you play your games and explore this world for all that it is. For now, where would you like to go? We will take you wherever you may wish.~"[/i] Ah, there it was. She had kept up that beautifully nice demeanor, kept her Doll Master safe, and managed to keep it all going well so far.

One simple step. and she hopped back up with the girl to the rooftop in which she had perched herself earlier to let her obtain a grand gaze over the city itself. [i]"The world is your oyster, and we are your ship. Where shall we set sail?"[/i]
