[Alice is wandering the halls today, singing softly to herself. Her voice is high and clear and sounds like a child, but with better pitch. The song itself is this.

She enjoyed having a mobile physical body again, so she's actually feeling a little down for once.

Wall units may pick her up as she passes, so action or network replies are welcome.]

[So, yeah, he's just leaving his room when he sees the folksong singing girl. The prince looks her way idly, but says nothing, and will mosey on away down the stairwell unless she decides to bother him.]

[action]

[lingeringmedusa]

[Oh she hasn't seen you before.

So she'll just follow you at a distance. She moves pretty stealthily, not being corporeal, but he's a pretty sharp guy.]

[For a while he doesn't notice her, but eventually the young man feels like he's being watched and turns around. He does look shocked, because hey, it's a ghost. She's also a ghost that's a whole lot less creepier than the one he often talks to, though. Zuko is on guard all the same.]

Uh..

..What?

[action]

[lingeringmedusa]

I wanted to see where you were going.

[action]

[exiled_torch]

[He relaxes a little bit. It's..so strange how he's grown used to talking to all sorts of weird people.]

..Why?

[What? Why does she care where he's going?]

[action]

[lingeringmedusa]

[She shrugs.]

Habit?

[action]

[exiled_torch]

That's a weird habit to have..

I'm just going to the beach.

[With that, he turns to keep walking. Zuko trains on the beach. He has to keep himself in decent condition, and, well, there isn't much else to do here when it's this quiet.]

[action]

[lingeringmedusa]

What's on the beach?

[Hey, guess what, she's still following you.]

[action]

[exiled_torch]

..Uh..

..Sand?

[He stops walking and looks at her.]

[action]

[lingeringmedusa]

So why are you going there?

[action]

[exiled_torch]

To train.

..Look, I'm kind of busy right now.

[There's an annoyed tone building in his voice.]

[action]

[lingeringmedusa]

Am I stopping you?

[action]

[exiled_torch]

No, but I want to be alone, and you keep following me.

[That annoyed tone is more pronounced now. The last time someone here watched him train..well..it ended up in said person screaming about him being a dragon and flying off into the sunset.]

[action]

[lingeringmedusa]

Why do you need to be alone?

[action]

[exiled_torch]

Because I need to concentrate.

[action]

[lingeringmedusa]

We're not even there yet.

[Okay, now she's just being a troll.]
