~Dormouse~
As I stared down at the two new people I realized something rather important. I was very large. And in fact, very easy to find. I guess I didn't realize much as I had my temper tantrum around the others. And now I felt rather horrible about it! Me! A young boy of...Oh dear. How old was I? I know that only babies and little children cry and have tantrums. But am I a little boy? I wasn't sure. But my family, (if I had one. That I was still not sure of) would be sorely mad at me.
And now I was drawing attention to myself. That mean old queen will surely get my head. I may be only seven points. But that means I'm weaker. So that would surely make me easy pray, for I cannot really do anything to protect myself. But I think I prefer being small. When you're small, you can hid quite more easily than you can when you are large.
So I stared around hoping to find a bottle or perhaps some cookies. Not a thing in sight of course, nothing but myself and the rabbit and flamingo staring up at me. I noticed a small patch of mushrooms a ways away and I carefully picked one. Now one right now would question whether it's a good idea to eat it. But at the moment it seemed to be a perfectly normal idea to taste it.
So I gave the mushroom a lick, and I immediately shrank back to my regular old size, right in front of Mister White Rabbit, and Miss Flamingo. And that's when another frightening thought came to mind. I'm shy, very dreadfully shy. I seemed to have gotten distracted by all the whimsical wonders in this land that I had forgotten. So here I was standing in front of a gawking rabbit and flamingo.
And then, they arrived! Perhaps they had come ready to scold me horribly about being a bad little boy. Or maybe they were going to use me as bait? Oh dear how worrying. I stayed quietly and tried to slip away before I could be scolded. Although Miss Mad Hatter seemed to be happy, singing to the flowers. What was she doing?

Yes, I know it would be 'Mad Hattress' but I think Dormouse is being the child like one with child like logic and doesn't seem to know the female version of Mad Hatter :)
