Snippet #2463241

Her gazes shifted between the two, unsure if she should take Tsukasa's advice. Aamu wasn't going to be off her radar just yet, but Isamu was looking worse. Hesitating first, Alice nodded to her friend and gave her hand a final squeeze before walking off. On the way she eyed the dog-like creature, still talking to a Saiforro. For a moment she thought maybe the family wasn't as horrible as they seemed to be--despite everything that was said about them--because of the charming way they presented themselves. Conversational, charismatic. But how could she trust strangers?

Alice walked hurriedly to Isamu's side and took his arm. "Isamu.." She tried to block his gaze with her's, but it was hard to look into such fiery eyes. "Isamu, what is it? What's going on?" He was by far twice as tense as before. Why couldn't she help in any way? Well, she knew why..but he was hurting himself. Too much. "Where did you go anyway? Is everyone okay?" Waiting for answers was almost as painful as seeing him hurt.
