Alyssa grinned. "Thanks. Y'know, you may be the first person who's actually welcomed me. I feel officially welcome now."

Gilbert nodded his head,"Well, I'm glad. So, do you have anyplace very important to go? I'm sure you don't want to waste your day talking with me..."

"I've nothing in the world to do, nowhere to go, aimless as a hummingbird," she said with a dramatic shrug. She narrowed her eyes, wondering if perhaps he was trying to get rid of her. "Wouldn't you get bored over here by yourself...?" She knew she would! If there was one boring thing in the world, it was being alone.

Gilbert shrugged his shoulders,"Well, I'm not trying to get rid of you, if that's what you mean. But won't you get bored...just being here with me?" In truth, there was a part of him that wanted to get rid of her. He didn't want her to find out who he really was, or what he had done, or worse yet, what had been done to him, in the past.

"Hmm..." She tapped her chin in thought for a moment, then sat down, leaning against the pipe. "Nope. I'm having fun here, actually...and if I got bored, I could always just leave." She was a lot of things; polite wasn't one of them.

Gilbert looked at her curiously. "Really, having fun with...me?" He didn't mind that she was impolite, in fact it was a nice change from being completely ignored. Still, he didn't believe her much, that she was...having fun just boringly talking to him. "What...do you usually do for fun?" Had he just asked a question that was going to cause her to stay longer..? he kept reminding himself that he should stay detached it would hurt less.

Aly pursed her lips in thought. "Talk," she said finally. "Or...sing, sometimes. But right now it's talking. Which is why I'm having so much fun with you, see?"

He nodded his head slowly, though it was obvious he was just nodding his head in agreement. He really didn't see, as she so well put it. "I...don't talk that much. So...therefore that's no fun, right?" He wondered if talking in round about ways might confuse the queen.

Alyssa raised an eyebrow. "So now you're trying to confuse me?" She shrugged. "Well, I'm having fun 'cause I get to talk, I guess."

Gilbert forced a fake smile, trying to look innocent. "Confuse you. Why I've done no such thing..." He then stroked his chin, and gazed at her briefly. "Alright. Then talk...I'll listen." He was actually a good listener, but he was also modest as well.

"Hmm." She tried to think of something to say. It was much easier when the other person helped you carry on the conversation... "Wanna hear a joke?" she blurted.

Gilbert's eyebrows raised up at the sudden subject change, but he wasn't going to deny the queen her simple pleasures. If she wanted to tell a joke then he was all for that. "...Sure. Is it funny?"

Aly shrugged. "Well, I think it is. But I guess it depends on your sense of humor..." She racked her brains to think of the best joke she knew. "Okay. So there's this lady, and she hears a knock at her door. She opens it and a man's standing there. He says, 'I'm very sorry, I just ran over your cat!' Very sad. Then he says, 'I'd like to replace your cat.' The lady says, 'That's all right with me, but how are you at catching mice?'" She giggled slightly to herself, then watched Gilbert to see what his reaction would be.

Gilbert laughed, even though it didn't sound natural to him. He really hadn't laughed in a long time. "That's very clever." His grin widened, but was still forced. Luckily, she couldn't tell the difference, since he had mastered his facade. "I'm curious as to how good the man would be at catching mice."

"Me too," she agreed. "Not very good, I'd imagine, since all humans have are clumsy fingers. They don't let their claws grow out, either, so they wouldn't even have a chance of digging those short stubby things into anything."
