Snippet #2462820

Alice couldn't help but smile at Tsukasa's comment. It may not have been true, but it was nice hearing the girl who had been so stubborn and quiet say something...nice. She perked her head up at the sound of a Saiforro's name. Her eyes drifted back to the dog-like creature, tagging along with someone else. The man introduced himself as Harold Saiforro, the man Isamu had been giving that deathly glare. Finally, another face to a name.

"I agree. It's like a distraction to keep people from seeing what's really going on." Alice strolled to Tsukasa's side, her gaze lingering on Harold. "You don't suppose we could do something, do you? I mean...the man on the loose you mentioned. He could pop up any time. And with everyone crowded like this?" She shook her head. Who knew what would happen. Everything here was always a surprise. But this was one she was especially frightened for. Without thinking, Alice took the girl's hand and gave it a quick squeeze. Tsukasa was so much stronger than her. Her surviving scars showed that. She would be more willing to address the situation at hand. There was something about her that made Alice happy to have her near.

"Do you know anyone else here? Particularly anyone we should be looking out for?"

Suddenly Alice went into worry-mode. Why /weren't/ the other residents here? Isamu had flown off so quickly to tend to "guard duties" but did that mean the others were in trouble? She turned to Tsukasa in hope for some more answers.
