John's seemingly perpetual smile widened as he heard Alice walk down the stairs and ask who was interested in going to the mall, "Welp, don't want to keep her waiting now do we Hal?" John inquired to his brother before disappearing without waiting for the answer. Just as soon as he'd left Hal's line of sight, he reappeared behind Alice and leaned onto her head with both arms, "S'up squirt? Hope you don't mind if I tag along." he chuckled while looking down at her. Despite his playful attitude John was still rather wary when it came to Alice and her abilities, after all she was one of the more powerful members of the house hold, so even as he leaned on her, the boy was ready to teleport away from her as quickly as he could, lest she suddenly decide to try and scramble his brain like an egg.
