[ Does it count as a prayer? She tries not to think of it that way, she sees it as talking to a friend. But if she asked the Cheshire Cat the same thing, she isn't sure that he would comply. So it's worth asking. ]

My friend... I have not heard from him and I fear for him. Sir Lancelot... well- he's called "Berserker", I know he asks to be called that.

[ Alice wipes her tears, attempting to get back on her feet with a little wobble. ]

I worry for him, since he was there on Death's Altar, too. Please... if it is possible, will you watch out for him?

[extramural]

The man who spoke of the Sisterhood. I recall him.

[ He has not spoken to him since, though the Outsider remembers seeing him on the battlefield outside Maupertius. ]

I will, if I can.

[ Because she asked. ]

[digophelia]

[ That's good enough for her; out of everyone her, she worried about him most of all. Of course he would insist he would be fine and that these were his duties.

Too bad both of them were so literal that they mutually ignored those things. ]

Thank you.

[ That at least allows her to breathe. ]

And I will continue bringing you more bones and charms.

I could teach you a few simple runes, should you wish. You could carve your own.

[ Something to keep her busy, something to make her feel useful. ]

[digophelia]

Really?

[ A distraction would be lovely; Alice isn't too crazy about being alone with her thoughts right now. ]

[extramural]

Yes. You can likely find others in various books, as well -- perhaps you will create charms that most do not think of.

They are for minor magics, but even that can be quite helpful. [ See: not getting eaten by rats every time you come to visit. ] It depends on how they are used.

[digophelia]

[ It's another thing she can tack onto her research while being stuck here. In a moment of childish resentment, Alice feels as if she has already given the brush off and given minor things to do while she waits for the others.

So far, the Outsider seems to have calmed her again and it feels more like than just busy work. It's something she can use for her own benefit and others. Still, when would she worry about the rats? He likes her, doesn't he? ]

I will do this for you.

[extramural]

[ He likes her. The rats that live in his room don't really care who he likes. ]

Do it instead for yourself, my dear.

[digophelia]

[ "Do it for yourself."

She's spent most of her time in Drabwurld throwing down what she does to join in and help others. Most of Alice's actions consisted in aiding others. The concept shouldn't be so foreign to her, but it is.

She'll continue doing what she does to aid her friends. She's too tired to argue. ]

Of course.
