Tarrant was willing to believe anything she said while she was gently touching him.

Oooh, Alice better file that little tidbit away for future reference. It's sounds mighty... useful-ish. Almost as useful as a spare Thackery! (^__~)

I adore how you've "rewritten" Alice's experiences in "Through the Looking Glass"... it just shows how inevitable Alice's destiny in Underland is. It's kind of comforting, actually, that even though her mother and father had stopped her from going through the looking glass in OAC, she hasn't "missed" anything. Well, she hasn't missed everything. (^__~)

And, by the way... I ADORE Decisive!Tarrant. "Let's go make you a queen." Whoo-hoo! After YOU, laddie! *whispers aside: If Tarrant leads the way we get a rather nice view of the seat of those trousers, aye? Aye!* Heh heh.
