Alice walked along the ice sheets of Tundraful, looking around in awe at the ice formations all around. It was far from a safe place to be, but she did enjoy the idea of a nice bit of relaxation after having been what she'd been through. She was small, only about a foot or two in height as she wandered along the ice. She had the power to shrink at will now - however, not nearly as small as Mat.
She glanced forward again, seeing Mat's body laying face-up in the snow. He was a bit different at this size, but he looked almost as though he were asleep.
"You there." Alice said as she approached him, looking down to the little one. He was larger at her current size, though he would only reach up to her knee if they stood next to each other. "It's a good thing your remains don't stick around with me or I'd have a graveyard of you in my boots by now."
"Alice?" Mat whimpered, sitting up slightly.
"You don't have much shame do you anyway, wandering around naked like that."
"I don't really have much choice... I get clothes sometimes when I come back but it's rare. I don't stick around in one place long enough to keep a spare change of clothes around for myself." Mat replied as he wrapped his arms around his knees. The pleasure had subsided from his previous encounters much like before - almost like it had been drained out of him. "Sorry."
"It's just harder to notice when you're smaller than me, that's all. You look different close up."
"Why are you so small? I mean, you're still a few times my size now but..."
"Why are YOU so small?" She asked back, nudging him a bit with her boot as she put her hands behind her back. She eyed him a bit as he curled back up into fetal position to cover himself from her view. The little one looked up to her, chuckling a bit in response to her response.
"Fair enough." Mat said with a smile, running his fingers through his blue hair as Alice brought her right boot over his little body. She nudged him to his back, pinning him against the ice with her heel on his legs and the toe of her boot at his chin. She didn't apply any pressure, she just kept him like that.
"You can wear this for now." She said with a light chuckle. She didn't feel his [REDACTED] beginning to press against the cold sole of her shoe.
"I feel like this should be colder..." Mat said. The ice didn't seem as cold as it should have, or really cold at all. The whole area seemed to be pretty unreasonably comfortable for how cold it looked. He simply lay there beneath Alice as she looked down to him. She tilted her head a bit, her pepper grinder dangling from her right hand as she did so.
"Not something I'd complain about if I were you. Don't you owe me a few stories for the last time I flattened you? I rather like hearing your tales."
"Alright... But you've gotta send me off later if I tell you."
"Deal." Alice replied with a smirk.
So he told her everything there was to tell since the last time they met. Seven separate deaths that he could recall off the top of his head, if there were more he didn't remember them. He told her of the worlds he'd seen, where he had gone and the new people he had met. This time, he even spoke of the voices he had been hearing as well as the symbols. It was nice to have someone around to listen to his journey.
Alice had sat down to listen, her foot still flat on Mat's little body as he spoke. It had been such a short period of time since she ran into him back in London and he had already spent what seemed like weeks or months away on other worlds. She'd seen too much at this point to question if it was possible though.
"The closest thing I have to what you're describing with those voices, is a mangy cat." Alice said with a chuckle, glancing over to the moon. It was fascinating, the aurora seemed to be the smoke that it was producing itself. With a smile she set the pepper grinder behind her back, letting out a light sigh. "I don't really take the time to enjoy Wonderland anymore. I've so much to do to fix it and save everyone, not to mention figure out more about the fire and that blasted train."
"It is pretty..." Mat replied, just as he did, Alice grew back to her normal size. Mat found himself beneath the tread of her boot, the weight growing to the point where his bones were creaking and nearly ready to smash beneath her. He could hear her laughing in a muffled tone before she lifted her foot off of him and plucked his tiny body from the ground.
"I much prefer you at this height when you're not wearing anything." She said with a smile, removing the buckles of her boot with her free hand one by one. "I'll keep my end of the bargain but you know the deal little one. Let me know what happens to you next time you show up."
"R... Right." Mat whimpered as she slid her foot out of her boot. She didn't hesitate to drop him into her footwear this time, the little one falling roughly into the overly musky prison. He looked up to see the striped underside of Alice's foot slide in after him. He cleared his throat, letting out a shaky breath as her toes came down onto him and drug him to the toe section of her shoe.
He couldn't tell where he was, but he could feel his [REDACTED] trapped in the fold between what felt like a toe. It was maddeningly pleasureful. He whimpered, quaking against the sweat-coated fabric of her sock as Alice turned to look out over the ice-filled land. She watched the Aurora floating across the sky, taking in its beauty for a little bit as she felt Mat's little body beneath her pinky toe.
After about an hour of rest she stood back up with the grinder in hand and began to set off into the tundra. She didn't feel Mat's body sliding in her combat as she swapped quickly between the grinder and her Vorpal Blade, slicing her way through dolls and other menacing creatures as she progressed. Mat slowly slid down, his legs crushing beneath the ball of her foot easily before the rest of his body fell to her footfalls. He was far from forgotten by her though, she simply went along as though he didn't exist in her shoe. She felt compelled to keep killing him for some reason...
