"Ohoho, I've found you Alice!"

"Hatter, that's not Alice!"

"Just look at her, she's sickly and weak!"

"Her hair is short and she is too young!"

"Shut up! I know Alice anywhere!"

"Oooh, that most certainly is not Alice, Hatter, that is a male."

"Cheshire! What are you peeping at?"

"Why, him, of course."

"Pervert!"

"Ow! What is your problem!"

"Everything, stop peeping!"

"Hush, you will awake her!"

"Hatter, don't get so close!"

"You might catch her illness~"

"Cheshire, be quiet!"

"Ow! How rude!"

"Hatter!"

"Hush, it's just for a moment!"

"Oh dear, we will be late!"

"Rabbit!"

"Ngh,"

"Oh no, she's awake, run!"

"Al, are you alright?" Adam came into the large room, Al sat up slowly, his blonde hair mixed into his bed head, he nodded.

"Perfectly," he said a fine English accent as he spoke, his voice raspy and very sickly.

Bags under his eyes from sleepless nights, he was weary and tired yet he was of the youths.

"Would you like me to bring you some tea?"

"No, thank you." He smiled and looked out the enormous windows as the maid opened the curtains letting in the bright sunlight.

"It's morning?" He asked,

"No.. sir, you have slept passed three, you missed breakfast and lunch, Sir." He bowed to him.

"Ah, I see..."

"Would you like a late lunch?"

"No, I'm not hungry." He closed his eye,

"But Al, you have not eaten a thing since Thursday,"

"What is today?"

"Tuesday of the next week."

Al looked at Adam and smiled again.

"Don't tell mother, but recently, I haven't really been sleeping well either."

"Sir Al!"

"I know, it is not right of me. But, I've been feeling very weak, and tired."

"Should I call the doctor?" Adam asked feeling panic sweep him over.

"No..I feel.. there is no need." He said slowly getting out of bed,

"Sir, your bandages." He pointed out as a drop of blood dripped onto the carpet floor,

"Oh," he covered his left eye and went to the bathroom.

Adam went after him looking through the drawer and getting the first aid.

He took off the bloody bandages and threw them away then wiping the bleeding eye clean and spraying some disinfectant on it.

He bandaged it with newer more cleaner ones and helped to dress him.
