[@Mister Thirteen] Oh thank goodness you thought of that. I was stumped. Because Alice is very much passive aggressive person. Even then she doesn't get upset often, and if she does she's more likely to sucker you into trying something on, having it fitted... Then she'll prick you all day with needles.

As for the assertiveness. I honestly don't have a problem so far. The only thing I would rather Alice was at home (As would she) but you were very right. The hospital works better especially for her 'first bloody drink'. And don't worry. I'm sure Alice will pull a assertive stance in time. She can be a bossy little thing ESPECIALLY about her shop. The Timeless Tailor is her baby and like hell Alice would leave it.
