Most people would have easily been snuck up on by a hologram that by it's very nature made no sound, but most people weren't as fluent in code and paranoid to pieces as Cheshire was. He had proximity programs that, while the hologram wasn't really there in the traditional sense, alarmed him that an AI's code was paying more attention to him then normal. It also told him it was DEE, so Cheshire wasn't very interested until he glanced up.<br/><br/>Not only was DEE 'present,' which potentially allowed Cheshire an easy avenue to his core processors and was a lot more trust then DEE normally gave him, but Chesh was also instantly and intensely interested in how DEE was moving. Chesh had never seen him with Dumas unhooked, and had never realized how much the AI relied on the hunky security guard to appear human. Chesh couldn't help but be intrigued. He watched what appeared to be a completely unemotional DEE suddenly convulse in horror, before going completely neutral again as he thanked the purple clad performer.<br/><br/>"Well, I'd hate for Wonderlands favorite imaginary friend and my extra favorite male eye candy to be missing, now wouldn't I?" Cheshire teased flippantly, or at least pretended to as he also feigned disinterest. In actuality he was watching DEE very closely for any sort of tell, clue or real reaction.<br/><br/>"so how goes our little bet?" Chesh asked just as casually.
