Snippet #2371745

The stranger looked around, only briefly looking at him, and instead changing her direction to her spade and the sky above. Her drab expression surprised him. He known his might of been a bit unsettling- full of joy at seeing someone. The hole was deep, and he began to distance himself from it, not wanting anything to do with it.

"I disagree. For there to be a time in which something is not to be done, there must also be a time in which it is to be done. However, I do not have a set time in which I must nap, nor have I for some time now, thus, there can be no time in which I must not."

Her words were complex and rivaled his vocabulary. "What?" Lucas had talked to himself just to keep a bit of sanity, so he didn't hear any other dialects. Unsure of how the communications would go, he began to toss his worries aside. Contrasting her formal speech, he opened his mouth. "Well, that's fine if you're tired, but this ain't any place to sleep." It blew his mind. The middle of this field? All the predators.. and those weasels might be back now. "I know someplace you can though."

An introduction began with something Lucas thought was only folk tale and never really happened- she tipped her skirt and bowed. On the ground, but he still recognized it. He observed her legs and chest and the skirt was moved- it was obvious he was checking her out, but he hoped she hadn't seen it.

"My name is Alice. I'm very pleased to meet you. Also, where are we?"

His stature straightened as he snapped out of his gawking. "Lucas- I think" He truly wasn't quite sure what his name was, but that's what he believed it to be. The words of a 1970s folk band held true- except Lucas wasn't anywhere near a desert, and he'd never been on a horse. But, the lack of anyone to give him pain allowed his name to fade from memory. "Happy to see you too." He held his arms out, emphasizing the land and entirety of space surrounding them. "We're here." Dropping his limbs back to his side, he carried them down to Alice. "Come on, I got somewhere else ta show ya." Not asking whether she wanted to, he grabbed her hands and lifted her to her feet. Whether she'd fall back down stubbornly or follow him was another thing.
