[Hatter liked touch, it was nice, to feel connected to something that was less fuzzy. He could focus better when he had something to ground him, not unlike Iris herself. He wondered why she was mad. Not even in Wonderland were people mad for no reason, they simply accepted madness, enjoyed it even. But they were all that way for one reason or another. He knew it was worse with humans, so what was it? She was scared all the time. Even now. When it was just him, and he wasn't so scary. He squeezed her hands back.]
Not in Wonderland right now, but we can go there. Irissss. [Hatter makes a silly face at her, part joke and part frustration.] You're lost but see I found you. Don't need to be lost alone, come with me. [He takes a careful step back, two, tugging her hands to indicate she should follow him. Making loads of eye contact, which is rare for him, mostly because he's easily distracted. But right now he's focused. Dark eyes on her.] I've got all the tea you'd ever want. And dresses and books and all sorts of things you'd like. [His voice is like a caress.] My Iris.
