[@The book of bad juju] Alice just stared at Violetta for a moment then she chuckled. [b]"Personally, I find Aurora a much nicer name. Germany sounds dull by comparison now."[/b] That was the truth. Alice found the name indeed much nicer to hear and say but nothing about the country resembles one. The country just was not fit for such a name which was used for a beautiful phenomenon akin to a spectacular light show. However, that was not the issue here and not the answer Alice was expecting from Violetta. [i]Maybe she did not understand my question.Is she really fine with the current state of affairs with the Authority and resistance fighting each other daily? Is she fine with the magical girls fighting with each other even over petty things? Or is she the type not to think too much and just follow orders from the top? Is she really okay with that?[/i] Alice leapt off the building and stopped again. [b]"Chaotic..."[/b] Alice needed to be careful not to be too antagonistic to the Authority or revealed her desire for co-existence. [b]"Witches and petty territorial disputes are bad enough. Moreover, we have two sides fighting for god know's how long. Things don't seem to be changing any time soon. If only someone would just step up and do something..."[/b] Alice realized what she was just saying and stopped herself. She quickly turned to Violetta and started to panic like a teenage girl who just revealed some dirty secret. [b]"I-its not like I want to be that 'someone'. I mean, I'm just one of the people caught up in all this like many others and just wished someone would just save us. I just want some peace..."[/b] A tear trickled down Alice's cheek. She just partly talked with her heart after all. She quickly wiped the tear and laughed. [b]"Hehe...silly me. I don't know why I'm talking to you about this. We should continue on...we are almost there."[/b] Alice did not realize she would actually cry. She only meant to come off to Violetta as a friendly magical girl who was not an enemy. [i]I really suck at this...I really hope Violetta does not start to prepare to take me down...[/i]
