Though a bit out of place in the investigation for the moment, Alicia did her best to remain attentive. She wasn't ruling anything out, even when Penny suggested that it might have been the Mint. It very well could have, though at the same time they were also a pretty convenient scapegoat. So she would still retain some flexibility in judgment. 

She nodded as Rachel laid out what she was going to do next for the investigation. [color=aba000]"Sure,"[/color] she replied with a small shrug. There wasn't much to report on her end, though she supposed she could do a general thing laying out the course of events. She'd worry about that more when she got back to HQ.

[color=aba000]"I noticed that. I guess all that keijo practice built up a bit of respect."[/color] However it had come back, Alicia was not going to feel bad about it. She'd been trying to build a partnership with Rachel, and at long last it seemed like it might be paying off. 

Despite the party ending, she remained determined to hold firm and enjoy the moment. Glancing over to Kimble, she flashed her companion a warm smile. [color=aba000]"Well, I want to find a souvenir before we head back. It's only a disappointing party if you let yourself think of it that way. Dan's got enough stuff on these islands that I'm sure we can find something."[/color]
