[That ridiculous Dulór kid has found the room with the giant chess board in his unstoppable effort to locate the Wonderland room. This room, though, is relevant to his interests, considering his- well, life.

He's currently standing next to the full-size, white marble queen, looking at her critically.]

I can't say I like what you've done with your hair, Mum.

[He chuckles, patting the marble piece on the shoulder. It's only a little off-putting to be in a room with giant chess pieces that don't come to life, though. hurk.]

Did you just call that statue "mum"?

[HEY look who it is, in the doorway with a bottle of some sort of fizzy pink drink and a crazy straw.]

[HEY THERE. looking over at her-]

Yes I did!

[Exploration still going! Hello giant chess pieces. Talking to himself...] How would anyone even move these things to play?

[And then he notices Dulor. Derp. Wave.]

Why?

[heads on in, slurping on her pink soda thing.]

[hey, glowy kid. Dulór doesn't know jack about this heart nonsense, really, and honestly glowing wouldn't be out of place in Wonderland. have a wave in return!]

They're supposed to move on their own.

[totally straight-faced:]

'Cause she's my mum.

You know, at home.

[And you are the first person not to harp on the glowing thing. Way to go, Dulor.]

...How?

[he's good like that.]

Ever been to Wonderland, mate?

[give her a sec to look between Dulor and the chess piece.]

...you look a lot less marble-y.

Magic. [complete with finger-wiggling.]

But honestly, it's a Wonderland thing. Mum turned into a sheep once. I didn't ask.

[Nods!]

Yeah!

And you didn't see the- You went to the Queen of Hearts, I bet.

Oh. I guess that makes sense.

[she is so accepting of Wonderland weirdness.]

Mmmhm. It's weird seeing them not move, really.

[taps one of the pawns on its head.]

I have to wonder the point of a giant chess set if it isn't going to move itself.

Maybe you have to have two people actually trying to play for them to move?

[she can has logic sometimes!]

Well, yeah.

Are their moving chess pieces somewhere else?

That's bizarre. [Pause.] Still.

Fancy a go, then?

[give her a moment, she's choking on her soda.]

No way! I've only ever played like, once, and I sucked at it!

[that Queen of Hearts, what a bitch.]

Yes. The Red and White Queens. Aaand the rest of the courts, mostly.

Oh, come now, love, it's just a friendly game.

[this face?]

[Wait for it...]

Your mom is a Queen?

[Well. White Queen and he was talking to the Queen chess piece. He can connect that much.]

[whyyyyy you gotta do that face.]

But...

[it's charming?]

Come on.

[deadpan:]

No, mate, she's a pauper. Precisely why I called the queen Mum a minute ago.

[sob she is so easily swayed.]

Okaaaaaaaay.
