Miss Grell and Sir Lancelot have asked me the two times before in which I helped them with Regate and Reynard.

[ She hates liars and refuses to lie. She wants to do something before anyone does anything stupid. Clearly, the logical conclusion would be to do something stupid. ]

I come of my own volition this time. Just as I did to try and convince Mr. Celegorm to not go further.

Loyalty is a rare trait, where I am from. Especially when it is among equals.

[ He says this slowly, as if he is coming to a conclusion. ]

I will offer you a gift once again, my dear, and a charm. I would advise that you keep the charm close, as I will also be coming with you.

[digophelia]

Loyalty in general is a rare thing and I believe in repaying the favor.

[ She's sure she would be dead if it weren't for Berserker, Celegorm, and Korra. Her heart aches just thinking about it. But this? She looks genuinely surprised when he tells her he'll be going with her. She was expecting him to be more aloof like the cat. ]

You will?

[extramural]

Yes. Reynard seems to be stirring things up, making a great deal of excitement -- I would rather like to see what the fuss is about.

[ His hand tightens on hers for a moment. Unlike last time, this time she'll feel a faint itching on the back of her hand and see a glow -- there's a Mark this time, one that will last until the world strips her of the powers she's been given. Two, for now, unless she makes or finds runes of her own: Blood Thirsty once more, as well as Vitality.

This time, he also pulls his hand back rather quickly in case she decides to try and stab him for the surprise. ]

[ That took longer than she thought it would initially. Alice now has both of her hands to notice the glow. It dissipates into that stranger mark, almost etching into her pale skin. Suddenly, there's a feeling of dread.

Alice's consciousness asking her what she had done.

She can't forgive herself for sitting there. She had to be carried off and Alice still can't shake the vision of Alyosha falling and Lancelot's injuries. A knot in her stomach unwinds and finally, Alice speaks. ]

I know. And I would like to see him pay for it.

[ His Mark. His, and there's a feeling of satisfaction there, to see it on someone else's skin. His gifts to her will fade, as is their nature in this world, but she is His now. ]

To the battlefield, then.

[ Ah- but first. A bone charm is pulled out, offered to her. ]

This will make all rats fond of you; mine will not seek you out to devour you as long as you carry it.

[digophelia]

[ She doesn't ask him about that, as much as she wants to. Maybe another time, when she can understand more of it. What matters is that Alice won't be eating alive by rats. Now that would be a pitiful death. It's placed in one of the pockets in her apron as she twitches her hands to remember that her weapons are still with her. He can come if he likes, Alice isn't expecting him to join in. She saunters on her feet, turning on a heel to seek out a fairy ring. ]

Very well.
