She woke up groggy and even more lethargic and her hair was always a mess. She didn't understand how humans even coped with this every morning of every day for their entire lives. She fought it for as long as she could before exhaustion eventually dropped her head onto the pillow (which was admittedly comfortable but no matter how she slept, her hair would look like a bird's nest in the morning).
Rather than try to fight sleep that night, Alice had decided to go see if anyone else could provide entertainment in the dark hours of the night. With Jasper gone...Alice hated thinking about, hated thinking that he was no longer here, with her. But at least...at least he was safe. Back home. Shaking herself out of her reverie, Alice slipped into the silent hallway. Dressed only in a white camisole and yoga pants, she darted through the halls, as quiet as ever before coming to a halt around the corner.
Clare stood in front of someone's door, grasping a pillow and a coverlet, looking as if she were waiting for something. At first, Alice was confused - what in the world was Clare doing - but then, a suspicion sneaked up on her. Rather than say it aloud, she decided to have some fun first, grinning mischievously.
"A midnight rendezvous?" she called cheerfully.

Now, at this late hour, especially with the supernaturally inclined at issue, she figured nobody would be in this particular hall at this particular time. Which, given the hotel now had twice the number of people staying in it was a foolish call to start with. Clare had also noticed she'd become rather at ease with her magic sword... she was even more nervous when its power flickered away.
Which is why she did startle a bit at Alice's cheerful arrival. And then sputter and blush at Alice's cheerful suggestion of something Clare took to be... illicit. "N-no!" Clare was obviously far too attached to others opinions still, on this matter, "I just- well, I was thinking- Oh nevermind. Stay out of my business!" Clare didn't have a proper response that seemed less pathetic than 'I don't like this hotel and I was lonely,' so she decided to just be rude. Which at any other hour in the day Clare wouldn't resort to, but right now at this hour she was too tired to care.
Besides, Alice shouldn't have suggested something so vulgar.

"Everything okay?"

Minako opened the door in time to catch Clare shooting Alice a dirty look, for both the joke and the look of a plan on Alice's face. Clare was looking for quiet time with her local bff, since Alli still had seniority even if she wasn't here. Clare looked at Minako and smiled sheepishly... realization she had no way to ask for the sleepover without sounding really pathetic still!
She hated having no plan, no clever story to save face. Clare swallowed, and with that action swallowed her pride, and just... said it. It was a quiet, tiny admission, ignoring Alice over there watching. Feeling like a scared child in her first thunderstorm, "I don't wanna stay alone in my room... can I, um, stay here with you?"
