[hr][color=rosybrown][h3]Alexandra Bell[/h3][/color][hr]Interacting with Zoey and Dexter; [@Mr Allen J] and [@JunkMail][hr]

Alexandra allowed her several long moments, even with Dexter moving around a bit and awkwardly hugging her back, to hide her face from the world underneath her hair and pressed against Dexter's back and jacket. She just closed her eyes and let herself feel safe against the comforting brace of another soul who [i]wasn't[/i] terrible. This one was nice, and kind, and apparently Zoey thought she as his girlfriend. Well, that's a thought. It hadn't really occurred to her to go out with anyone, and- hm. Dexter went suspiciously quiet when she hugged him, and that was the first thing that came to Zoey's mind, or the first thing that was good enough to be said.

[i]Hm.[/i] She'll dwell on that later. She didn't want to deal with anything complicated right now. Dexter [i]was[/i] pretty, though.

She perked up a little when she heard mention of the cafe, and then of a missing friend. It appeared that an extra pair of eyes would be useful.

She shifted a little bit so she peered out at Zoey from beneath Dexter's left arm, still holding him like he was a giant pillow of hers.

"Hi Zoey. I'll bite, sure."

She paused for a moment, taking note how they were all close together to try and stay beneath the umbrella- her somewhat protruding butt was still getting half-rained-on. She straightened a bit, so she was hugging Dexter from the side, now, and his arm was around her, and she immediately reached forward and pulled Zoey into the hug.

"Hush, don't even protest, and if you are mean to me, I'll sic Dex on you," she immediately stated somewhat playfully and matter-of-factly, to Zoey. Wrapping both arms around two people, she held them there for a moment before she said to Zoey, "I only help friends, so I guess you're my friend now. You seem to be Dex's friend, too, and Dex has good judgement. I'll allow you to be my friend, then. Nice hair, by the way. Lessgo."

With that, she let both of them go, and stepped out of the umbrella- and let the rain pour down on her. She rather liked it, and her face showed it as she ran her hands through her hair, pulling it all straight backwards and thoroughly wetting her hair.
