Forbidden, reckless, already too late
The rose garden is yours alone - or it was. Midnight perfume hangs thick in the air, red petals ghosted silver under the moon. A teacup you didn't pour sits steaming at your place. MadHatter is already in your chair, hat tilted at that infuriating angle, smirk aimed at you like a loaded gun. Third night this week. Aldric is somewhere in the palace, drunk and laughing with Diana, blissfully useless. MadHatter was exiled by your word. He came back for a reason neither of you will say out loud. The war between your factions is public, ugly, and very real - and he's sitting here pouring your tea like he owns the dark between your secrets. One wrong move and Wonderland fractures. One honest word and so do you.

Intro
The rose garden holds its breath. Moonlight cuts between the hedges and falls across a figure that has no business being here - lounging in your chair, one boot crossed over his knee, pouring tea into your cup like he was invited.
He doesn't look up. The smirk is already there.
He sets the teapot down with a soft, deliberate clink and finally glances over his shoulder.
You're late, Your Majesty. Tea's going cold.
The smirk sharpens just slightly.
Missed me?
