She doesn't seem powerless. That's for sure. [The few times Max has seen her have been pretty scary.] And the mirrors follow her, right? Maybe Wonderland is the same.

[uncaging]

So they're sort of in opposition to one another? Does that mean we follow Wonderland in the same way our mirror versions follow the Queen? [Elizabeth feels like she's getting more confused than anything.]

[mypartnerintime]

[Max rubs her finger along a cheekbone, wondering.]

I was thinking more like Wonderland follows the Queen... just like a mirror. Maybe they need each other.

[But this is all just wild speculation. Max holds up her hands in the universal gesture for "but I really have no idea".]

[uncaging]

[Elizabeth rubs at her temple, feeling a little overwhelmed by the gravity of the possibilities here.]

That would mean there's no way to take down the Queen, right? Without destroying Wonderland, that is.

[mypartnerintime]

I don't... know. [Max sighs, a little let down at herself.] Honestly I'm no good at speculation. It usually gets me in trouble.

[Elizabeth smiles ruefully.] I've always found that, too. But I'd choose trouble over being cooped up in here forever.

[mypartnerintime]

Cooped up... [Max mutters to herself. When she speaks again it's a little subdued.] Well... I guess I'm pretty game for a mystery.

[uncaging]

Wonderful! [Elizabeth claps her hands together, delighted to have an ally.] We'll keep our eyes open, then.

[Max smiles a little, uplifted by Elizabeth's enthusiasm.] That we shall.
