Hurt and brused, Alice continued to walk. She had to be strong, despite the pain that she was in. She looked like hell, the wounds from her fight with Judai had started to heal, but her arm was still useless. She needed to get it repaired. Right now it was just in a sling by her side.

She paused at the empty lot and leaned against the wall of one of the buildings, breathing a bit hard. She was definitely still hurting.

Hades took note of her immediately, resisting a smirk at her appearance. Battered, bruised, verging on broken. Either someone in the Entropi-filled sky liked him or hated her, as they'd just placed a lost lamb into the jaws of a lion. His face easily took on a faux concern and he strode over to where Alice stood.

"Would you like some help, miss?"

"I'll be fine." She said, looking up at Hades for a moment before closing her eyes. She was in a lot of pain, but she was fighting it all. She wasn't going to let it get it to her.

"No, you won't," he lied, feeling it slip easily from his lips, mingling with the hypnotic aura he projected, trying to become more like the truth. "You're so hurt, I'm amazed you can move at all. Let me help you."
