❝ I don't believe that'll be necessary... but I'd appreciate the help. ❞ Mash blinked her eyes at Rashid's joke, the jab at it flew right over her head. Though she gave an appreciative nod before focusing her attention at Nobunaga. She had the same question that Mason, Asugi, and Reiner had in mind, keeping herself from repeating the same question.
❝ Didn't you hear what I said earlier? ... wish-granting chocolates is the big main thing here. It's never been that easy than this to get a single wish done, and all it takes is a bite out of that chocolate! ... or at least that's what I was told. ❞ Nobunaga went on with what she knew, bringing up that the factory was giving out wish-granting chocolates. That was worrying on Mash's end, if there were people trying to steal those chocolates. From the little she knew, it was like miniature and easily attained versions of the Holy Grail. She hoped that this wasn't the case, but seeing Nobunaga's actions here, it felt like that exactly.
❝ ... wait, Nobunaga, who told you? ❞ Mash narrowed her eyes once she heard that last part, and almost immediately, Nobunaga clammed up once asked.
❝ I believe so... I would've thought that this feeling would be worse, but it's like I was never hurt in the first place. ❞ Alice pointed out, managing to get herself up on her feet no problem. Strange, she did get knocked over pretty bad, so a person could've sworn she would be at the very least be slightly battered up. It appeared that that wasn't the case... Before Alice could say more, the Cheshire Cat took a tight grasp of her hand, tugging her towards his side.
❝ I'm very glad that you're not terribly hurt then, Alice. I wouldn't imagine how distraught I'll be if I never rushed to your aid. After all, it is my duty to keep Wonderland's Alice safe and sound, a duty that I'll take on with my dear life. ❞ He winked at her with a flirtatious tone, and then glancing over to flash a smirk at Laslow. Did the Cheshire Cat think that the other was trying to woo Alice away from him?
❝ C-Cheshire Cat? You don't have to say that every time to me... ❞ The tour guide stammered in embarrassment, her face getting all red by his sudden words.
❝ No need to be so formal Alice, try to call me Kyle like I've requested back when this chocolate factory was put together. ❞ The Cheshire Cat, or Kyle as he preferred, was very evidently possessive over her. Something to be noted.
❝ You're welcome. I've only done what I can due to Alice's call. ❞ Kyle smiled once approached by Mizelia, but he sounded a tad dismissive at her thanks. He seemed more inclined to stick with Alice for the time's being.
