Eve considered Asher's question for a moment, sitting down on the couch, at a respectable distance from Asher of course, Eve was rather aware of personal space, her own taking up a bit more than most, and sliding a box of grenades out from underneath it. Placing the box on her lap, she began to check them one by one, turning them over in her hands, and occasionally feeling the pins to make sure that they were still firmly in place.

"Maria is at school." she finally settled on answering. "Alice, I believe, is still in the base, but I can't say for certain about the others yet." Yet being the key word. Eve did intend to find out.

As for why she herself was not in school, the temporal adept was a runaway after all, at least in the eyes of the law. Registering for school without a legal guardian would probably prove difficult in of itself. Besides, between books and experience Eve had learned a great deal more than the education she'd be receiving there.

As she considered what, if anything, social protocol dictated she say next, Eve noticed Alice quickly shuffle past, still in her pajamas... Wait a minute. Where had she gotten those? She didn't arrive with them, at least to Eve's knowledge, and she didn't think that any of the other girls on the team, particularly herself, had the same... er, build, as Alice, so it couldn't be a borrowed pair.

Before Eve could get too deep in thought about this, and the possible implications thereof, the secretive novice gave a rather disturbing groan. “Foooood…”

After she had finished shuddering at the resemblance the sound bore to that of an actual member of the undead, Eve set the box aside and walked over. "If I'm not mistaken, you've pretty much cleaned us out. If you like though, I can take you to the grocery store, so you can pick out what you like." Eve paused briefly. "Though, if we do, you may want to change into some clothes. Asher?" That last part was an inquiry as to whether or not he would want to accompany them, or her, depending on whether Alice wanted to go or not. It was not a question about whether he agreed that Alice might not want to go outside in her pajamas, though in retrospect Eve supposed she could have worded it better.
