Timmy smiled as he looked at the hatter. ((OOC: Just a slight description of him for Molo and Glu_Glu)). The man was small, actually, he looked dwarfish, although he seemed to be good proportionated ((OOC: Don't know the word)). He had a large, checkered hat with symbols scribbled here and there, some Timmy recognized, but most of them he'd never seen before. Attached to the hat was a small note, saying only "In this style, 10/6".
The table they were sitting at was filled with pots, cups and other things you could expect for a tea party. The only other guests were a sleeping pig, who didn't seem to wake up no matter how much Timmy poked at him (he was stationed next to it).
Timmy thought that, although this was all in a sense strange, both the hatter and the Hare seemed less... evil, than those they had encountered before. A strange sound from the hatter made Timmy look over at him. The man was screwing at a clock, sending small components flying.
"Umm... Aren't you a hatter?" Timmy asked the man.
"Yes, exactly, a hatter I am, and a hatter, aren't I?" The man answered happily and send a small cog flying towards Timmy who barely avoided it.
"...Right, but why are you fixing that clock then?"
"Hmm... But aren't I trying to fix the clock, or the clock is being fixed by me?"
"It's the same thing."
"Oh, no no no! That would be like... like saying that I was breathing when I ate, and that I ate when I was breathing! Or maybe, A raven could sit on a desk, and a desk could sit on a raven! Learn to use the words you're dealing with, proper english is the key! Or rather, the key is proper english!"
"And poppies are yellow," A muffled voice said, "but yellow isn't a poppy, it's a color." The voice came from one of the tea pots.
((OOC: Gotta quit, lesson starting now!))
