There was a limited amount of time until she could have time to search for Alice's other companions—she could vaguely recall who they were and she was sure she could identify them once she saw them but other than that, she was at a loss. Although her situation with Alice's closest ally Nicholas was also something she needed to pay attention to as well.
But somehow, she gave him time.
Almost similar to how the King of Hearts made no move to have her at the dining hall.
Indeed, for the recent days that happened after the King and Queen of Clovers left—she had only seen her Knight and Mary Ann most often. Chesire had surely returned by now with Catherine Duke. She had left him milk and fish but he did not appear. And so there was no one else she could turn to for now.
Until the door swung open—
Mary Ann and the Queen of Hearts raised their head in surprise. And it was the Joker who appeared.
"...oh, you're still here?"
