Alice said a very unkind word that someone would not have expected from her. To say she said it would be putting it mildly. There was a rather detailed list of what exactly Sasha was, summed up in a scant handful of choice words that at any other time would not have been said. Let alone even thought of.

But she nodded weakly a wee second after she said it. Her family was as good as strangers to her, yet she was more willing to help this poor man? She tried not to think of what that meant for her psyche. Her stance of avout to bolt eased to a defeated slump of her shoulders. His threat to the Timeless had been rather effective.

"Just, please let him go?" Her voice even was quieter and flat. Alice cringed as she thought of her Timless in flames or this man being killed. It was so utterly wrong. No wonder that poor coat he brought had been in such bad condition.
