[So, after the business with Break there's an Alice minding her own business in the room she lives in within Gil and Naoki's ~*~LOVE SHACK~*~. And quite possibly thinking about some of the people back home that she's left behind. All in all, it seems to be a relatively quiet day.]
Are you lonely, dear? You look like you want to play~
[Which is why,

...and then what he hears on the communicator register. Damn it. This is what he gets for going out to get groceries. Groceries get left behind all at once and he's on his way back to the house. Or what's left of it. Oh god such a mess.
But he's hurrying home. And bursting through the door.] Alice..?!
[Must be important if he's using her name.]

Said rabbit is just curled up in a ball in a corner of her now trashed room. Bother?
Oh, just watch the bedroom door. It's currently lying at the foot of the stairs.]

[And as he peeks into her room. Well. There she is. He frowns, hurrying over, taking a knee beside her.] What happened? Are you hurt?

[She doesn't feel like talking. She tries to swat him away, but it comes off more as a pathetic wave instead. orz]

It hurts. Hearing Oz say those things...

[She sounds bitter and defeated. Also rather hostile.]
I can still remember how even you used to distrust me, Gilbert.

Oi. Because Oz is a better person than that. He doesn't work that way.
[He stretches his legs out in front of him and sighs.] I did. I thought you were going to hurt my master, to get him in trouble. Whether you meant to or not. And maybe you did. But then I saw how much he cares about you. And even you about him, you stupid rabbit.

Of course I do--! I admit I have my own reasons for needing his help, but like hell if I want him to get hurt... or worse, end up back in the Abyss.

She sighs, uncurling and moving to lean back against the wall from Gil. A heavy frown is on her face -- and Gil will most certainly be able to see the streaks of tears on her face from when she was crying earlier.]
...I hate this. Break wasn't kidding when he said this wasn't something to be messed with.

So there's nothing to do but get stronger. And find a way out of here, for all of us.

[Alice sighs, staring blankly at the window as if it were a portal back home. Oh, how she missed Oz and the others... but until that time came there wasn't much else they could do but endure.]
... mind staying with me for a bit? It's only just to be sure I can stand! Not like I'm worried you're going to leave or anything...
[Awfully specific denial there, Alice.]

[Gilbert shifts to lean back against the wall.] I told you before, I'm not leaving this place without everyone. They sent me back home, and I'm here again, aren't I?
All of us together or not at all. [A sigh.] Tch. Oz wouldn't forgive me if I left you behind, stupid rabbit. [It's not because he cares about her. Oh no.]

[She sighs again before glancing at Gilbert seriously.]
Neither would I, for that matter. So... you'd better not...
