"Oh, hush," Nana said, lowering her eyes modestly, but she could hide neither her smile nor her pride, and she glowed under the praise and under Jasper's arm. "Are you sure you don't need bandages?" she asked in concern, looking at his scratched-up arm entwined with hers. "It looks pretty bad, even though the thorns are all out." "Brimstone brew?" interrupted the March Hare, leaning over the Hatter to peer at Tick-Tock with interest. "Sounds intriguing. pour me a cup, please!" He held out his teacup. The Dormouse's nose wriggled as it caught the scent of the desert. "Scary things out there," he mumbled, "but give us a bit, love?" The March Hare took his saucer and held that out too. "He'd drown if he got a regular cup, see," he explained. "Not a bad way to go," commented the Dormouse. "Drowning in tea, tea, delicious tea, at the very best time of the day....."

"DELICIOUS!" the March Hare proclaimed, holding his teacup high. He had barely taken half a sip before he had announced this, but he promptly poured the rest from an arm's-length in the air into his open mouth. "Absolutely delectable! Absolectable!!!" "Indeed, indeed," the Dormouse agreed, gently lapping at the brew between snores and comments. "Deliciously dangerous. Delangerous." "I suppose I could stay for the time being," Nana said with a frown, "but if I don't show up again when they come looking for me then they'll certainly begin to wonder." She looked up from her tea at Tick-Tock, and her frown deepened. "Is there something wrong, Tick?" she asked, setting down her teacup. "You don't look well."

"Certainly!" said the March Hare, holding the teapot from the same height and letting the brew splash into Indya's cup. "I love watching tea fall through the air, it's so pretty....."

"Oh, Tick-Tock," Nana said, embracing the robot, "I'm so sorry! This is awful! Here we are, enjoying ourselves to the fullest, completely oblivious while you are suffering so horribly inside! Tick," she said, finally releasing her. "There's nothing selfish about loving somebody, nothing at all. You shouldn't have to give up your love under any circumstances." She bit her lip and stood silently for a long time, searching for an answer. Finally, she found it. "You can have some of mine."
