[Johannes is tucked safely into his thankfully dry lab, but there is a shadow on his face. He is operating by candlelight.]

Alice has stopped answering me, and her communicator is offline. I believe she may have gone home. Just an announcement for those of you who might have known the child.

[And, with a distinct scowl, he ends the feed.]

... it's better that she's gone back. This is a dangerous place to live.

[Video]

[soulcontracts]

Agreed. Better tea back at home for her, too, I imagine.

[Video]

[bloodseal_soul]

She seemed very happy while she was here, though.

[soulcontracts]

Lucifer is quite literally running around outside. This was no place for her.

[Video]

[bloodseal_soul]

Was he targeting her?

[Video]

[soulcontracts]

[He gives him a slightly funny look.]

No. That hardly changes my point.

[Video]

[bloodseal_soul]

Oh. [Al presses a hand to his chest, out of relief. It's one thing for Lucifer to mess around with him and others, it's another for him to go after Alice.]

You're right, it doesn't.

[Video]

[soulcontracts]

[He clicks his tongue a little dryly.]

You must have really cared for her.

[Video]

[bloodseal_soul]

She's a sweetheart. She made the city a little brighter, and she'd help me around the garden.

[A soft smile. He's used to losing people.]

You were close too, right?

[Video]

[soulcontracts]

[A quiet snort.]

I'm not close with anyone.

[And he's almost offended you'd suggest as much, Al.]

[Video]

[bloodseal_soul]

Ah, of course not.

[With a smile. He knows Johannes' type all too well.]

[Video]

[soulcontracts]

-- oh, don't patronize me.

[And he'll just hang up on him. :| He's a little irritated that Alice is gone, and he'd rather not have everyone knowing.]

[Video]

[bloodseal_soul]

[... oh. Well damn.]
