Questions for a cat

For ease of reading, I present to you a list of questions I had for the faerie critter I saved.

What is your name?   I can't tell you.

What was I fighting just now?    Hellhounds.

Hellhounds? Seriously?   They didn't look like Hellhounds?

They looked like Hellhounds.    So what's that hard to get?

Whatever. Do you live here?   I live wherever I am.

But is this your home?  Currently, yes. Soon, no.

Alright, wiseass.   So you DO know my name?

Wait, your name is 'Wiseass'?  No more than if I called you 'Idiot'.

Ugh. Alright, is this area, this ground that stretches out in all directions for a thousand times further than the eye can see, is this area where you have lived most of your life?    Yes.

Okay, so why were the hellhounds chasing you?   Do dogs not chase cats where you are from?

Are your world and mine so similar that that's obvious?  From where I sit, our worlds are the same.

I meant the world I was born in.   I'm sure there's more than a cursory resemblance.

As I understand it, this is what people from my home call Wonderland..or rather Underland.   I think your spatial sense is off. We're more of 'to the side and down'.

Okay, I need a name for you. Since we're in Wonderland and you're insufferable, can I call you Cheshire?

The creature tensed up, and looked alarmed at me. In the most serious tone I thought I could ever hear, he spoke, "Do not call me that name." I apologized.

I noted that he was something of a tubby one. I offered 'Chonk' as a substitute, he seemed fine with that. That got a smile out of me.

You know the one in the tower?   Dal Matia? Yes yes.  Owed mine a favor, she does.

What in the seven hells is she?   At this, Chonk looked confused. I rephrased

What is she? A Fear? Something else?   Much as I, an original inhabitant of a land unmade.

She's a Faerie?    Fae, not Faerie.  Faerie is the place, Fae is the creature.

You're a Fae?      A Faeline, specifically.

Seriously?    You seem surprised.

I shouldn't be.   And yet here you are.

I'm interested in heading home.   Stay where you are, it'll come to you soon enough.

....You mean that eventually this'll become home if I let it.      More if it lets you, but yes.

I want to return to Earth.   Have a safe trip.

You're coming with me.   Seriously?
