⑦ never heard that one before (week 27, day 3)

[ Juudai has that unique expression that results when one is apprehensive to a point bordering terror, is trying not to convey this emotion at all, and ultimately ends up looking even more worried than if they were just honest in the first place

Spiky-head?!

[Here, have a worried Alice. Because she knows the acute pain of having a friend disappear in this place. She knows the cruelty of it and Johan - he was a nice person. He shared his food with her!

This wasn't good at all!]

Do you need help looking for that zoo-keeper? I can help!

[sternitfortem]

[ Well, it's not that Juudai wants to start a panic... even if he's kind of close to panicking himself... ]

I've been looking around, myself. Just, if you could keep an eye out, that would be great. I'm just worried he got hurt and can't get help, you know? [ There are a lot of cliffs around Mizusato... ]

[can_you_eat_it]

No, it's okay! I'm not really doing anything right now anyways, so I'll go look.

[She nods firmly at that as if to say it's settled now.]

[sternitfortem]

Thanks. I really appreciate that. [ Juudai looks really relieved. ]

[Alice just shoots him a confident grin and holds out her hand to summon her scythe. A moment later she simply leaps into the air to sit on the staff of the blood red weapon, legs crossed as she takes off towards the mainland.

She's really going to look all over for him.]

[ Oh, Alice. Juudai can't help but feel a swell of gratitude and appreciation for the girl when he sees her swoop off, however unsettling that scythe is. It means that, no matter what she is, rabbit or Chain or whatever, she's something even more important. A friend. ]
