Ah, yes, tea with the Evil Queen (Is that what she goes by? The Queen of Hearts would know the formalities, of course, but).
This sort of dynamic is most definitely a familiar one. But in this case, the Queen of Hearts, as hotheaded as she can be, is trending toward barely there diplomacy. Maybe it's because she doesn't see the value in fighting with The Expanse creeping down the horizon? Maybe she knows the Evil Queen is right. She doesn't have a plan.
Or maybe she just respects a woman who can be as brash as she is. In any case, she chews on an elderflower macaron, watching her counterpart with the sharpest of threatening gazes.
"I must demand that you tell me who writes your jokes, Your Majesty — or, at least, who guided you in perfecting your delivery. Ruthless! Hysterical! They would never lose their heads in my kingdom."
