Re: Victorian Hamlet: Yes. KEEP HIM HERE FOREVER. And actually that reminds me of something I wanted to do with Rosella for Grab Bag, come to think of it, so thanks! All the foreshadowing that's coming out of the box plot is delicious and creepy--especially when he was wondering what might've happened to the person who took the curse from his box-push, and he considered that it might've been as bad as what happened to Sam--and I can't wait to see what happens when it finally comes out.

Re: Little Lady: That's absolutely one of the reasons why, whenever I curse Rosella into her younger self, I've never actually decided on a definite age for her. I usually guess it at somewhere around seven (because it makes it ten years down to go young and ten years up to grow up, which is simple), but that's a really tough balance to strike and I do think you do it really well. And I think Alice reminds Rosella a lot of herself at that age, what with the curiosity and the adventurousness, which is why she's felt invested in Alice's well-being almost from the minute they met. Also, together they can gang up on Blue.

Re: Just (In Time): I think Ed and Rosella should play chess sometime. Presumably someday when she's not a complete wreck and all, but yeah, they should hang out. Get coffee. Be royalty, IDK. Someday I will find a way for this to occur.

I hope so, too. ♥ I always have so much fun interacting with you and your characters, and I look forward to much, much more in the future!
