Alice smirks a little bit at the mention of the "journalist."

[color=fdc68a]"To be honest, it was kind of pathetic."[/color] They laugh to themself.

[color=fdc68a]"Why tell us like this rather than getting the others by surprise? The only reason why you would do that sort of thing is out of fear. Unless, of course, they have [i]different[/i] intentions..."[/color]

At the back of their head, they had a crawling feeling that this was some separate partly playing the part in order to grab their attention. That, or a trap to get them acting predictably. Perhaps they desire a personalized revenge, and so getting them involved is a vital requirement?

[color=fdc68a]"Oh, and as for contact from the others? Well - the mail just came in today, you see. My assistant is currently sorting through it all, so we can -"[/color]

Elri pushes her way towards the door, pushing a letter towards Alice's hand. [color=6ecff6]"I believe this is your hypothetical urgent letter."[/color]

Alice accepts the letter, putting it up to their face to read the sender. [color=fdc68a]"Why yes, from Gideon. Congrats, we've found our contact. Just as I figured."[/color]

[color=6ecff6]"... Yeah, yeah, from your old days of heroisim."[/color]

They purse their lips a little bit. [color=fdc68a]"You sure you'll be able to hold down the fort yourself, if I say, hypothetically, had to go elsewhere for a bit?"[/color]

She giggles. [color=6ecff6]"Come now, have faith, great hero."[/color]

[color=fdc68a]"Do not worry, for I do."[/color]

Elri stares into the half orc's eyes for a moment, before bowing to the both of them. [color=6ecff6]"I will return to my mail sorting affairs, then. Have fun with - whatever you people do, I guess."[/color]

She turns to walk back into the office.

Alice taps their fingers on the side of the doorway. They hope Elri doesn't come off as too apprehensive to him... They like her, though.  She doesn't give them false platitudes. If anything, the sarcastic snark is a refreshing change of pace from the politeness and worship that they commonly get. A sign that they are being treated like an equal.

Alice turns themself back to Abraham, brushing their hair out of their face. [color=fdc68a]"Well, why don't you come on in? We'll read the contents of the letter together, and figure out a plan from there."[/color]
