Up until a little while ago, they’d been enjoying a game of Truth or Dare with Oliver.  Then Dee made a challenge which neither twin expected Oliver to actually accept -- he was rather timid in general, and everyone knew about his fear of the human realm.   But The White Rabbit had surprised them.<br/><br/>“Shouldn’t he be back by now?  I hope he’s alright.”  As usual, Dumas felt more trepidation about the situation.  Neither he nor his sister had ever travelled to another world, and he could only imagine the horrors which each might contain.  Anxiously, Dumas nibbled the finger of his pink silk glove, before Deidre intervened.<br/><br/>“Don’t ruin it,” she chided.  “Remember, we’re going to a tea party later.  We need to look our best”  Both twins wore short pink dresses -- but what the dresses lacked in length, they made up in girth, with wide skirts buoyed on layers of chiffon.  Petite pink top hats balanced precariously on their heads.<br/><br/>“Sorry,” Dumas apologized.  Then his eyes went back to the portal.  “Still, I really think he ought to be back by now.”
