Maddie ignored Tinks warnings about messing with the cats. In part due to the sinking feeling he had from having one of the only two things his father left him taken from him. The second reason was much simpler, he didn't view the cats as a threat like the others did. There was a familiarity to them, something tugging at his heart and mind telling him he was close to home, but he couldn't quite figure out what it was. They weren't the Cheshire, but perhaps his litter as he had thought. All Maddie could do is wait and hope they brought back the hat unharmed.

When the door finally opened he watched as a massive cat turned into a human, followed by another man holding his hat within his hands, and finally a woman. Maddies jaw practically dropped at the display of magic, but also at the thought that perhaps he was finally getting to meet his dad. He'd spent years thinking of what to say to his father, what his first words would be, and now he had the chance to say it. The words he'd practiced on so many others, on every adult who crossed his path as he waited for his father to return. He looked the man in the eyes and spoke.

There was a small pause as the man looked at Maddie, his mouth curling into a small smile before answering him. "Because, they can produce few notes, though they [i]are[/i] very flat; and it's never put with the wrong end up front." The words rolled off as if the final line was more so a thought said out loud. Maddie's eyes began to swell with tears as he heard the words he'd been waiting for his entire life. No Edgar Allan Poe, no laughing it off as a cute nonsensical question of a child, just a genuine answer to match him. Maddie ran towards the man with the hat, wrapping his hands around his waist and giving him a tight hug as if he might disappear. [Color=99CC00]"D-dad"[/color]
