Nana was so shocked she didn't even remember to be embarrassed. She let Alessa guide her out of the room and leaned heavily against the wall. She repeated the question she had asked before, but now it had an entirely different meaning: "What happens now?"
~~~
Dee sighed with relief as Indya removed them from the dingy prison to his room, but bristled at the sight of his blood, which still stained the floor. Grimacing in distaste, he muttered, "Someone's got to clean that up." To Indya, he said, "Please, sit," in a less than genteel manner, sitting down himself and waving a hand at an empty seat.
"So? When do we marry?"
~~~
After the door was completely shut, Dum smiled and reached an arm across Eris' middle, turning her around and pulling her across him so their chests were pressed tightly together. He kissed her and smiled, trying to relieve her of some irritation-- "Thank you."

Nana slid slowly down the wall into a crouching position, running her fingers through her hair, unsure of what to say or do. All those thoughts rushing through her head of what she ought to have said to Jasper before she had gone, what business she'd wanted to attend to before she disappeared forever-- they were certainly good ideas, she thought wryly, but they didn't mean nearly so much now.
She removed her hands from her head and clasped them before her. Looking up at Alessa, she asked, "Is Eris very angry with you?"
~~~
Dum smiled at the rhetorical question, and answered it anyway, craning his neck to plant affectionate kisses up and down hers. "Well--" he said, "right now, you'd probably be figuring out a way to take over the universe on your own." He pulled his head back and grinned at her. "You could most certainly do it, too. I've got no idea what you need me for."
~~~
Dee's expression suddenly clouded over with anger and he grabbed Indya by the jaw, turning his head back and forth to force her to look at the wounds Eris had inflicted upon him. "Let us not forget what else she warped," he hissed furiously. "For this, above all else, she must pay."
He abruptly let her go and began pacing the room. "I can't be seen," he said, his voice half-amused and half-angered. He did hate being cooped up. "I'm supposed to be in prison. You're going to have to get everything done for m-- for us."

((Aw, I'm sorry. Viruses suck.))
"I know," Nana said, nodding slowly. She too was staring into space. It was easier to handle what had just happened-- let alone to talk about it-- if they didn't look at each other.
After a pause, she said with a frown, "Ever since the first time Eris sent you after me I've been wrapped up in my thoughts on what I'd have liked to do while I still had my freedom.... Now that she's let me go, I'm still not entirely sure that I'm free. In body, perhaps, but not in mind." Finally she looked up at Alessa. "You weren't at all... perturbed? By her, I mean-- not letting me go, but the-- you know. Seeing your queen with... him."
Internally, she was laughing at herself; even after all these years, after all the people she had killed, the battles she had seen and the time she had spent with Jasper, she was still as shy as ever.
~~~
Dee's elbows hooked under Indya's arms and his hands pushed against her back, pressing her up against him. Leaning in to her, his lips brushed against her cheek as he whispered, "In the throne room. Downstairs, two rooms from the main hall." He kissed her neck and added, "There's one for you too, my queen."
~~~
Dum gave Eris the same curious smiling frown he had given when she had said "Gods" --The proclamation she had just delivered was quite a formal mouthful, almost disconcertingly so. But, he figured, he may as well play along. He wrapped his arms around her waist, removing every last inch of space that separated their bodies. The frown disappeared and he was grinning now.
"And I, Tweedle Dum, King of Wonderland and God of the Underworld, love you, Eris, Goddess of the Underworld, Queen of Wonderland, and merciless captor of my heart."

Dum laughed as well, although his was one more of surprise. "We are?" he asked, pulling away from her only for a moment. "Really? That was... quick." He laughed again, and said softly, almost reverently, "We have won, haven't we...."
The blissful moment was short-lived; the peace always had to be disturbed. There had been a knock at the door, and some words spoken through the heavy wood by a frightened female voice, and then a serving-girl had poked her head through and finished the message with a fierce blush on her face.
Dum slid gently out from beneath Eris, staring incredulously first at the girl and then at his wife. "Their crowns?" he repeated, his expression darkening. "They have taken their crowns?"
~~~
Nana jumped to her feet. "Alessa, are you all right?" she asked, her eyes wide as she gently curled a steadying hand around her arm. "What's happened, are you hurt?"
~~~
Dee's smile was more wicked, more devious than ever as he took the crown from Indya's hands. The moment was perfect-- he had a crown on his head, a kingdom in his hands, and a beautiful queen in his lap. What could go wrong now? He ran a hand across Indya's thigh. "My wife," he said quietly, eyes narrowing, though the smile still played upon his face, "I want you to remove this dress." Though it seemed she was indeed all his, and that she still did not remember much, Dee had to be sure of her loyalties. And what better way to go about testing them?
