A bored Alice is a wandering Alice, so when he does arrive, it's to Alice sitting high up in a tree in the orchard that's outside of their homes. She smiles and waves at him from above, a peeled orange in her lap from her own kitchen as she bites into a wedge. When she sees Peter, she waves.

"Ah, that's alright, sire! I just had the curious thought, you see. I was wondering if you can hear worse or better if you're up high. I also thought about if it's any different if you get too low, but you see, the trouble is is that I can't get very low, the tunnel to the dragon is gone. I'm not entirely sure I'm up high enough, you see, since I can still hear everything very clearly. So I don't know if a tree is high enough or if it can go anywhere without any trouble."

Her legs swung as she spoke.

"Would you like some orange, my lord?"
