Isabella smiled, glad that he liked the food. She thought for a moment though as she took a bite of her own. Where had she learned and then she remembered a kind old face. "Well my first master had a very kind old chef. He told me that since he couldn't have a real apprentice that he might as well teach it to someone who will use it. So every day he would teach me something knew."
She took a sip of the tea as well and gave him a happy smile. "I'm glad you like it though." She then commented, tea cup still in her hand. She finished her sandwich quickly and then took her dishes and washed them. She came back and asked Hatter, "Are you done or would you like some more?"

Hatter finished off his sandwich and got up just a few minutes after Isabella "Thank you but you can relax if you like" He walked into the kitchen and cleaned off his plate. Then he walked back to the living room and pick up his tea cup. "Would you like to go and enjoy the nice day in the garden?" He sipped at his tea. "So how long have you had masters?"

Isabella nodded her head but didn't sit down and waited for Hatter to be done. "Yes that sounds lovely!" She commented. It did sound nice to enjoy the day outside. It was such a beautiful day after all. She smiled and headed out to the garden, thinking about the question that Hatter had asked next. She had to think about it for a moment. A few years here and a few years there. Nothing very stable except for the last one. He had been her longest master. "I think I have had around four or five. I don't remember quite well because sometimes I was only with them for a year or two." She shrugged her shoulders some, doing her best to respond.

He walked out to his small table and chairs and set his tea down. He nodded his head at her response "Do you ever tire of having to answer to someone?" He asked, he was curious. Cause he knew that if he had a mater he would go insane...well before he had actually gone insane. Hatter picked up his cup and took a sip then remembered that he was going to change into his nicer clothes. He wondered why he hadn't done that already and then he looked over at Isabella. His day was turned upside down since he brought her here. It was kind of nice not going through his normal routine for once.

"I never really thought about it." She admitted and shrugged her shoulders. She wondered now and decided. "I don't really mind it though. I have done it since I was little so I don't really pay much attention to it. I feel lost if I don't get ordered around." She chuckled some what at that and looked at Hatter. "I'm always expecting you to give me commands that I must obey but you haven't yet. It is different I must admit, not having to do everything." She walked towards Hatter as she had been a bit of a distance in front of him. But of course she tripped, on what she didn't know, probably herself. Flying forward, she ran into Hatter and then fell to the ground. Her cheeks were bright red and grew more so as she realized that she was clutching the hem of Hatters shirt, almost ripping it. She let go quickly. "I'm sorry really sorry. Oh I am such a klutz. Are you okay? I am so sorry." She mumbled as she sat there a bit dumbfounded. She had been doing so well but of course someone as klutzy as her had to have a big fall after such a long break.

Hatter nodded, that was why she was so timid but she was really cute to and he would never order her around. Just himself, he could never bring himself to do something like that to a girl. Hatter watched as she tripped and he dropped his cup reaching out to help her before she hit the ground. He got his hand around her waist and she grabbed onto his shirt. Once everything calmed down he couldn't help but laugh at the position they got themselves into "Don't worry about it" he laughed softly and helped her to her feet. He dusted some dirt off her clothes and then looked at her "See no harm no faul" he said with a smile. He pulled a chair out for her "Would you like to sit?"

Cheeks bright pink, Isabella smiled with a small laugh and sat down. "Thank you Hatter." She then noticed the dropped cup and hopped up right away again, picking up the pieces. "Oh your tea!" She exclaimed and in her haste cut one of her fingers. She didn't notice at first, not even when she went inside to put the broken pieces in the trash. She came back out and sat down again, though with a new cup of tea for Hatter. Luckily however she hadn't used the hand with the cut finger or else there would have been blood all over it.
She noticed it now how ever as she clasped her hands together in her lap. Oddly enough it hurt her bad enough to say ow and stick it in her mouth. She sucked on it for a moment and took it out of her mouth. It hadn't stopped bleeding yet though and she looked up at Hatter, "Um do you have a band aid? I am sorry I am so klutzy. That was always my problem when I was little. The main reason I got hit so much." She said the last part even with a slightly cheery disposition, though her cheeks were still pink. It didn't bother her that she had gotten hit. She felt she had deserved it, though in truth she really hadn't.

He was about to tell her not to worry about the cup but she had already gone inside. He took a deep breath and relaxed against his seat letting the warm sun rays calm him down. It was a nice day and soon it would be winter. As much as he loved the snow it got to him a little to much but the heat was also bad most of the time. There was never a good in between. Hatter turned to Isabella when she walked back out and took the fresh cup of tea from her "Thank you kindly" he said and took a sip.
He looked at her with an odd expression and then saw the blood. He slowly got out of his seat "Stay here. I'll get the things you need" then he walked into the house and went to the kitchen, he got out the first aid kit and then walked back outside. He kneeled in front of her and cleaned up her cut then put some antibiotics on it then wrapped it with a band aid "there you go and you can stop apologizing. We are all klutzes when it comes down to it" he gave her a smile "Just sit back and relax now ok. This is a good time, a fresh start from everything" He sat back in his seat with his tea.

"Thank you. It was very kind of you to bandage it for me." She smiled slightly her cheeks tinged a slight pink. She leaned back into the chair however and relaxed as much as she possibly could. She loved the weather that they were having now. Almost perfect. Fall and spring always seemed to have the best weather for being outside. Summer too hot, winter too cold. Though she loved to watch it snow and also watch the rain. It was such an interesting thing. How did water get all the way up into the sky and then back down. She had never really been schooled so it wasn't as if she would know the basic science of it.
"It's so lovely out. Wouldn't you agree Hatter?" She then commented and closed her eyes some. She was content and happy. Though the hat she was wearing made her head feel funny. It wasn't that it was uncomfortable, just that she wasn't used to wearing a hat. It was like a piece of jewelry or knee high socks if you weren't used to wearing them. It felt funny and maybe even tickled or itched until you got used to it."I can't wait for it to rain next though. It would be quite relaxing." She added after a few moments.

Hatter was happy when she finally relaxed, he watched her through the corner of his eye and knew this is why he loved life. To be young and happy and care free. It was rejuvenating just to see it. He was happy that he could help her in any way possible. The way she had lived before was cruel and made him regret all the maids he had before but he hoped that they didn't hate him.
Hatter sipped at his tea and watched the leaves sway in the wind "Yes, it is lovely" he responded and set his cup down. He then rested his elbows on his knees looking out at his garden. He was always so critical about his garden and always looked for anything that might make his garden look back.

"What are you looking at?" Isabella then questioned after opening her eyes and looking at Hatter. He seemed to be staring intently at his garden. She loved it personally and could tell he took care of it very much so. She smiled though and enjoyed the day while wondering what was going to happen later today. She looked out at everything and than had a question. "Do you live very far from other people?" She than questioned wondering about the couple from earlier. Did he have neighbors or anything? She wasn't sure and wanted to know.

Hatter cleared his throat and looked away from her “Sorry” he softly said and turned to look at her for a minute then down at his tea cup. “I was just checking to see if there was anything else I needed to take care of in the garden” he took a long sip of his tea and then set the cup down on the table “I don’t like to have my garden looking trashy, it’s the only thing that I have had pride in since I moved into this house years ago” he said and looked back out to the garden, this time just enjoying the beauty that it held. Soon though winter would come and kill all of his work but that just meant that next spring he could do a whole different layout to it. He shook his head no “Not really. The closes people to me are only about three blocks away in any direction. People walk by often most don’t even say hi but some do” Hatter went from frowning one moment to smiling the next. His mind was always jumping around never resting in one place. “There’s a market place or something like that about a mile or so from here” he said, maybe she would like to go there or something. He didn’t know what girls like to do much less a girl like her who was a maid her whole life.

"I don't think your garden will ever look trashy. At least it won't with the way you take care of it." She then smiled at him and looked around at the garden. "It is quite beautiful so it will be sad when the winter comes." She loved gardens but she also loved the winter. It may have been cold but snow was always lovely. She turned to Hatter again though as he spoke of his neighbors and then of a market.
"Your neighbors should be more friendly." She commented. People should be nice to others unless they give them a reason not to be. Though that was what she thought.Then smiled at the thought of a market. They were always fun to go to. At least for her. Unpredictable and full of chaos. Much different than her ordered life of cleaning and chores. "When is the next time you are going to go to this market? I would love to see it." She exclaimed with a happy tone and look on her face.

"Thank you" he said softly, he did enjoy his garden a lot, he also understood where she was coming from about his neighbors but he couldn't help from being really odd and scare people. That he understood that people just wanted to keep themselves safe and Hatter probably wasn't the best choice to feel comfortable around all the time. He sighed and finished off his tea and set his cup on the table. "Well I don't go to the market that often, people...avoid me...a lot." He said and looked at her giving her a small smile hoping that he didn't scare her too much. "If you would like to go I will join you" his smile grew a little more just thinking about walking into the market and having people see that he wasn't crazy.

"Well people are just plain dumb if they avoid you with out even knowing you." Isabella said matter of factly. She gave him a smile and stood up, walking over to where he was sitting. "I would love to go with you. How about tomorrow?" She questioned. She was a bit tired still and wasn't sure she was up to going to something new. She wasn't sure if she would be able to take it all in. She gave Hatter a hug suddenly and laughed some as she pulled away. "Other people are crazy. You are a very nice man." She said and than took his cup away and washed it inside before come back out and sitting down.
