Ace sighed as he walked down the stairs of the Joker's hideout. Vena was sure to be pissed off at him. He looked around as he entered the main room of the underground hideout. Several people bustled around the area; 'card' captains from the Red Queens old army, beastkin from the kingdom, and even members from beyond the looking glass. He looked around then coughed when he was slapped on the back, "Lady Venatrix has been looking for you Hatter." Ace looked up at a large and burly man, a boar beastkin, Armon. "Is she pissed?" he asked. Armon shrugs, "Not really." Ace nods and sighs, "Right. Let me go find her Royal Highness." Ace walks away and into one of the side rooms, leaning against the door. He watched his best friend as she stared at something on the table. "You know, with my ears, I could hear you the moment you entered." Vena stated as she studied the map of the kingdoms. Ace snorted, "So?" She stands up straight and turns to look at him, "What happened?"

When he spoke it was almost a growl, "What do you want Rabbit?"
