He quirked an eyebrow, he had already told her where they were heading. Did she forget already? It seemed she had a short attention span. This could be a problem, they needed to be alert of what dangers may come. He knew  that  the king was angry at Alice, so he  wouldn't make things easy for them. He frowned when she didn't answer his question of why love was so hard for her. Without knowing about it, it would be hard to help her grow. But, perhaps she wasn't ready for that. He would have to be patient with her.<br/>"The forest of hearts, like I said before. You need to pay more  attention to things. If you do not stay alert, you will end up dying. I hate  to sound cruel, but you drew out the kings  anger. The king has  a terrible temper, just like the queen does. To unleash his temper is a dangerous  thing. I am not the strongest around here, you will have  to help me out. Really, I am not sure why the king picked me  instead of his more loyal shadowlings. Though, a shadowling would never love you back. And, they aren't very lovable either. Perhaps he wanted to give you more of a chance to succeed."
