The picture kept staring at her, and after two moments it dawned on her. Shivering she walked towards the picture and placed her hands on the cold frame, the picture of the serious man seemed to taunt her a bit and smile at her. As if he was used to this kind of treatment, the girl placed a knee on the counter below it and pushed it off the wall where it swung wide open. She sucked in her breath hoping that it was right, the girl looked up and saw a glint. The glint was not the golden frame that aided her, it was the glint of the handle of a safe. She raised an eyebrow and knew she'd never figure out the combination. She pulled out some tools and began to work them to take off the knob and then poke until it clicked. Nearly a minute passed until she got the knob off, it was one of the tougher knobs due to it being so rusty on the inside. She poked at the little metal parts inside until it clicked. The pulled it open with one finger to see inside, an object. It was a gorgeous little object that she did not dare to look too closely at. She had heard the stories and was not sure what was all true and what wasn't. She took it out, awed. Mesmerized even. She placed the mirror into her lap as she readjusted the knob and fitted it back into it's place, fixing the safe she had broken, after oiling it. Once she was sure it was on securely she spun it and replaced the painting.
She got off of the counter and clutched the mirror to her chest. Her eyes looking up at Cheshire's as she closed half the space between them. "Is dis one real, or fake?" She glanced at the mirror that was nearby, if they weren't too high she could jump. She bite her lip, and stood there, adrenaline rushing through her veins. Making her sweat despite the cold. Sophy held it very close, she once again forgot about the object she carried for communication.
