"Course I did," he replied, looking a little offended, though it was starting to fade now that her arm was hooked in his. "I mean, don't get me wrong, I'd rather be anywhere but Wonderland anyway. Complete madhouse you left behind." Which wasn't entirely true. Jack was starting to put the pieces back together and all. Hatter may have had no love for the man, but that didn't mean he couldn't respect him as a king. Even if it was really bloody irritating. "But yeah...I mean, I had to see that you were okay, and all. I did promise to get you home."
He didn't find it so weird that it had stopped moving. Cities that moved were more weird than cities built high in the air. Though he supposed Alice would appreciate this one more. Not nearly as terrifying for her. But for him, who hated constant changes and having to stay on his toes more than usual? It had been hell. This was all right. He could live with this. Though the refillable money did sounds appealing.
By himself? That was a weird question. "Yeah, by myself. Why? Looking to visit?" The grin on his face was wide but, surprisingly, pretty gentle. It wasn't the mischievous grin the Hatter of years prior might've given her. He'd grown up a lot recently. He'd become a fighter, and a lot of that change had just been in the last several days, and mostly because of her. Though he wasn't going to go telling her that!
