Caroline doesn't talk much about the Cheshire Cat, not unless it's to tell someone who stupid Wonderland is. It's different with Amy, though. Maybe it's because Amy caught a snippet of their conversation before Caroline's communicator turned itself off. Maybe it's because she saw said interaction but didn't make fun of her for it. Maybe it's because Caroline told her of said interaction and the little ordeal she went through with a saucer and Amy didn't exactly make fun of her for it. She's a desperate girl wanting to go back home to her mother and her best friend. It's not exactly a laughing matter.
But it becomes one, a good sort of laughing matter, where Amy teases Caroline about seeing any cats lately. Gone to go fetch a saucer for one? Got milk? And Caroline laughs, for the first time in months, always at the repetition of these inside jokes, because she doesn't have anything else here.
So, it's when Caroline's in the tea room with a little cup of tea in front of her that Amy comes walking in, collapses in a chair beside her, and grins, something akin to the Cheshire itself, and says, "Cat got your tongue?'
