Someone from my character and art blog wanted to know how Conner and Zataan first met.

"So... let me get this straight; you fell -up- a rabbit hole?"

"Over a rainbow and through a looking glass hitched up in the back of a wardrobe. And wouldn't you know, you can never get -back- to Wonderland the same way twice. But this really is a fascinating little world you live in. So dull, so gray, so full of potential! Like you!"

"Well, uh, thanks, I g- Hey! I'm dull?"

"You are?"

"You just said --"

"Said what?"

"Nevermind..."

"Mm. Well, I promise that if you let me room up with you, at least until I find my way back home, I'll make it worth your while~"

"That sounds... ominous."

"Oh, it is, terribly! Do like breakfasts in bed?"
