His smile had widened a little, because Chance knew exactly what he was doing, turning the question right back around at her. He'd read Alice in Wonderland before, but it had been a while, and besides, he wanted to hear her opinion of it anyway.
"The caterpillar, probably," said Chance mildly. "Or the Cheshire. I did always like him."

She narrowed her eyes seeing the smile, like a cat suspicious of its owner's reached out hand. She didn't enjoy being played with, but she disliked showing weakness to others. "Yup, the caterpillar fits you. It does love confusing you and make you question about yourself. I love cats, they are the owner of themselves, they do whatever they want and don't care if they aren't interested in one thing. Cheshire Cat, it helped but also baffled Alice in the book, I like how mysterious it is, like no one can see a full picture. Some pieces are always missing from the puzzle."

"I'm not particularly mysterious," said Chance with a laugh. "I may like to tease a little, but for the most part I'm just an open book."
He leaned back with a shrug of his shoulders.
"I try not to confuse, but I suppose that's not always something entirely controllable."

"I'm talking the cat." While he though she had unknowns on her, she felt she couldn't really tell how a person he was. For instance, she won't be able to describe him precisely with words. Sometimes she felt she caught the tail, but the next moment there was nothing in her hand. "A little?" She said with a gentle stressed tone. "Really? You've to work on it then. I suppose if you can control everything, life would be less interesting." She suddenly stared at afar, blue eyes turned into two pieces of ocean afloat with the mild change in expression. "It hurts to see something slip through the gap between your fingers when you can just watch, making futile attempts once after another until you lost sight of it." She spoke it slowly, hand unconsciously moved up with her words. Seemed to be talking about an object, but she didn't state it clear what she was talking. One could tell she was surrounded by frail insipid sadness for a moment, but it replaced by something else too quickly to pry deeper.

He laughed good-naturedly. "Maybe a lot," said Chance, eyes twinkling. "I tend to tease people the more I like them, though I try not to be cruel about it. And life is only as good as you make it, or at least that's what feel about it."
He didn't understand what she was talking about, so he remained silent, merely watching her.

The eyes squinting at Chance moved away when he admitted he loved to tease but they returned to judge at the sparkling eyes. "Then the one being teased should be thankfully for your love." She smirked, words not matching with what she thought. His staring told her he didn't get any part of her words, and it was what she wanted. "You don't need to understand, it's just me mumbling." She would feel anxious if he got any clues. "Make it....." She tasted the words on her lips, "I don't know how to make it work." She mocked at herself.

He gave a little snort, but didn't comment on the love aspect of her sentence, especially since the look on the girl's face wasn't quite as reassuring as it could have been.
An eyebrow rose.
"Make what work?"

"Make. life. work." She looked at him, slowly replied word by word.

"Ah." He got it now, Chance silent for a moment.
"Sometimes it takes a bit to figure out how to do that."

"I'm afraid I don't have that long, before I could figure it out." She said flatly. "We're hunters after all." Finishing her words, she pulled one leg up on the edge of the bench and wrapped her arms around it.

His brows rose.
"That just means to do what you can in the meantime with what you have."

"What I have...." She seemed to be musing, head down, fingers curled up into a loose fist touching her lips. "What if I have nothing?"
