Chapter 1: If You Knew Time As Well As I Do
Clock King: It's been precisely two hours and sixteen minutes since I was last insulted.
Mad Hatter: Oh, that's good..?
Clock King: And two point five minutes since I was last assaulted, but we don't need to talk about that.

"Happy Hatter Noises" needs to be a fic name.
Glad you liked it. 😁
