[center] [h3][color=00aeef] Alice [/color] [/h3][/center] [hr] Alice smiled slightly at the acknowledgement and agreement to her vision, not terribly surprised by Mika's objections. Nat asked what she expected him to, but the display that came surprised her. She raised an eyebrow, which didn't drop during the entire exchange, before her mouth set into a thin line. She ran a hand along Nat's shoulders, gentle as a feather. [Color=00aeef]"Why don't you go upstairs, Nat? I've got things to discuss with you shortly. I've heard some interesting rumors that I think the Wolves will need to act on,"[/color] she said quietly, moving on. She stepped up to Kristian and Travis, that same cold expression on her face. Grabbing Travis, she steered him towards the door, surprisingly gentle. [Color=00aeef]"Go on now, your friend will be right out. Take him to get new clothes,"[/color] she instructed, slipping him a fair chunk of cash. [Color=00aeef]"Keep the change between y'all."[/color] Turning towards Katashi, Alice nodded to herself. [Color=00aeef]"You like action. Why don't you escort Mika home, and maybe look into these random killings they're trying to blame on us afterwards?"[/color] With a smile she looked at the slightly younger ruffian. [Color=00aeef]"If you follow Nat, there's roof access and I'll join you two for some training, yeah?"[/color] Finally she came to Kristian, leaning forward so that her cheek actually rubbed against his as she whispered into his ear loud enough for only him to hear. [Color=00aeef]"I know you're hiding something. I can see it in your eyes. You're just as twisted as I am, pretty boy, on the inside. Just as fucked. But that's okay, because that just means we're stronger for it. You want protection? I can do that. But not for you. No, not for you. I'll do it because eventually that deep dark scary stuff inside you is gonna give, and I want to be there when it happens. Now run along, or the big bad Wolf might start biting."[/color] She gave his cheek a slight pat, licking it as she pulled away, and practically skipped back towards Mika. [Color=00aeef]"Do stop by again soon, my beautiful flower. I'm sorry to cut the visit short, but I've got so much to do. I hope you enjoy the walk with Katashi,"[/color] she said happily, with a wink and a smile.
