Taken off guard by someone who wasn't Penny, and who decidedly wasn't Mariette or any of the others that she would have expected, Alicia glanced back over her shoulder to see who it was. The initial confusion lasted for a few seconds before she recognized it as that girl from the hospital fight, who had somehow wound up here. Shrugging off the hand, she couldn't help but glare at Shannon. "I'm surprised you're here," she remarked with edge in her tone. "I figured you'd be trying to find a way to peacefully convince Justine to not destroy the world. Since people can change their ways."

Okay, yeah, she was still a bit bitter about that whole thing. She hadn't been caught in the best mood. 

While Shannon made herself scarce, Alicia's attention was drawn away by the arrival of her Beckoner. Her head bowed as it remarked on what had happened, only to rise and gain a light smile at the reassurance it provided before producing the tracker she had brought with and activating it. She felt...better. She hadn't forgiven herself yet, but knowing it wasn't held against her took a weight off of her shoulders. 

Rising to her feet, she did her best to compose herself, brush away her tears, and put on a strong face for the reinforcements as they had arrived. She wasn't sure how many there would be, so even the five that came through could not disappoint her expectations. "I wasn't sure how tough it would be, so I wanted to make sure you guys had a clear road to Justine," she explained ay Sylvia's comment before gesturing to the castle that was standing basically next to them. "She's in there, some of the others already went ahead so they could probably use the help."

Rubbing the back of her neck, she shot them a chagrined look. "I'd have called a bit sooner but I got dropped in a lake, and then frozen." That sort of thing was a bit of a deterrent. 

Listening to the directions given, Alicia nodded before hurrying towards the castle with the others as they began. She trusted Sylvia could take care of Penny, so she wasn't going to unduly worry about that. In a fight like this, distractions could mean your death, so she needed to stay focused. Even if she was tapped out on mana, she could still be of use. 

She'd only made it a few steps before she heard something that brought her short. Glancing round, her eyes widened as she spotted Kimble moving, somehow still alive in spite of getting hit so hard by the ship earlier. She wasn't going to ask how she had managed that, but she hurried over without answering Sally to get a better look. Dropping down to her knees, she looked over the magical girl to assess how bad her wounds were, before rooting through her stuff to find some of those medicinal herbs she carried as part of her hoodoo knowledge. Hopefully they had survived the swim and being frozen. 

As she did so, she called back to Sally. "This one's still alive," she explained, before looking to Kimble. "Shhh, don't move. It's okay, you're safe now." She wasn't sure if Kimble could hear her, but it was worth making the effort. 

Looking to Sally, she nodded towards the castle. "You go on ahead. I'm tapped out on mana so I'll catch up once I'm done here." They couldn't afford to waste time, and Sally would be more useful joining everyone in fighting Justine than she would be. That said, she returned to doing what she could for Kimble, chewing up and applying the herbs (if she could find any), and otherwise doing what first aid she knew. It would have to be a temporary fix, until they could shift her back to a Beacon medic. 

Hopefully the castle didn't explode while she was busy
