Vena walked down the steps of the hideout quietly, listening to the Jokers work. These were the people still loyal to the true queen of the Kingdom. These were her people, the ones who saw the cruelty. Vena looked up in thought, wondering about two people she had not seen in hundreds of years. The bandersnatch and Ches. Then again, the 'snatch was a captain in another kingdom,  and Ches.... well Ches was Ches. "Lady Venatrix, Ace hasn't come back yet," a young boy stated from in front of her. She looked down, "Don't worry. He's fine. Probably wondering the castle."<br/><br/>Ace stretched as he walked down the marble hall. He was tired, gathering information for the Jokers could be exhausting. While walking her heard a commotion from the left and stopped. Curiously he went to the door and opened it, leaning on the doorway. For a few minutes he watched the young historian flit around the library. Her two braids flew behind her in a funny a way. “Well, that settles it. I will find this daughter and get my questions answered if it’s the last thing I do!” the girl ground out aggravated. "You shouldn't talk about her in the castle you know. The Queen won't be happy."
