[color=9e0b0f][b]Interacting With;[/b][/color] King Maddox Auclair([@Scarlet Loup]), Lady Amaryllis Ward([@Filthy Mudblood])[/center][hr]
If there was one thing that Alice would remember about Amaryllis, it would be the way she reacts when she's put in a situation that angers or annoys her. The way that she didn't return the fake smile, the explicit poker face that she maintained even after Alice implied rude gestures and passive-aggressive remarks. In this unpredictable interaction, with one that she held a strong love for, and the other, the opposite: a boiling hatred that stems from a held grudge, Alice seemed to be more focused on the apparent rivalry. Alice took pride in the way she looked for the evening, even if it seemed over-the-top with her laced, revealing gown, and her glimmering jewelry to match, attempting to take every moment and every situation to outshine her enemy. 

Alice stood much closer to King Maddox than Amaryllis, from trying to show to Amaryllis that she was, in fact, growing more fond of the King than she was due to her absence, and from not wanting to lash out and attack Amaryllis savagely if things got out of hand. Alice has never been the type to deal with her anger well, becoming defensive and brutish if things were taken too far for her liking. Nevertheless, it was clear that Alice was taking enjoyment in the situation in which she made an attempt at seducing the King for a little more than a 'tasteful' moment, for annoying an old enemy, and for interrupting a relationship that Alice deniably thought could rekindle.

Alice gave a fake laugh at her comment, maintaining a perfectly, fake smile to match. [color=9e0b0f]"Oh, but if you're promised a life with riches and anything you wish for, you'll be gone in a heartbeat again, I'm sure."[/color] Alice gave a sly wink with the teasing remark as her gaze was locked onto her eyes, showing that she did not fear her cold stare, nor her presence, this time.

Alice fixed her posture and flicked her falling, barrel curls out from her face, moving into Amaryllis at an attempt to grab her hand,[color=9e0b0f]"I heard about your late husband, Lissa. I do hope his riches went to his dearly, beloved, widowed wife -- unless that is why you came back after disappearing for so long."[/color] Alice shot her a look of pity, though the comment was obviously insincere due to the conflict that she was continuing to stir up. The mention of her nickname that Alice used to call her all the time showed the pity she had for her, and was meant to prove to her that Alice thought lowly of her, as if she was only but a girl that Alice once befriended.
