"Okay, okay, you've got me!" he cried, "You can keep my hat!"

"Yes." Suddenly, he got an idea, and began tickling her.

"You're making it incredibly difficult to say no."

He opened his eyes. "What are you up to, Alice?"

"Maybe if I can't see you, I won't give in."

"Yes you are! You're being all cute!" He shut his eyes.

"You're going to make me give in!"

"I will not move on the subject!"

"You cannot sway me with your cuteness."

"And I will
not be moved on the subject," he said, grinning.

He smiled. "Here." He put his hat on her head. "You can have it for now."

"Yeah. I'm not very bright, if you haven't noticed yet."

"I hope I didn't hurt you at all."
Stupid, stupid, stupid.

He sat down next to her. "Uh... Sorry."
Nice going, Hatter. You are the single biggest idiot in the history of Wonderland. He grabbed his hat, jammed it on his head, and walked back.
