008- [action] At the church...

[smallestgrave]

[Alice is far too self- sacrificing to want Millie to have to shoulder this burden. So she's tried to get to the milk every morning before the girl woke up. Most of the time, it worked. On the first day, she'd died a rather painful death from fortified poison. But becasue of that, she'd overslept the next day. The day after that, she'd been lucky.

Hi! Also yay Alice!

[Ken's walking along, probably getting supplies to restock the house. It's been a crazy few days.]

Ah...you ok there Miss? [If she's praying with/to the milk, there has to be something up]

[smallestgrave]

[After she finishes her prayer, she turns to address Ken.]

I'm fine, thank you. I was just seeking guidance.

[She carefully removes the cap from the milk bottle.]

[weiss_tank]

Askin' God if he'll let you have good milk today?

[By now he's figured out what the hell is going on, and though he really wants to, he knows he can't stop her and do something productive.]

[smallestgrave]

Just praying for the strength overcome whatever trial I'm about to face.

[She smiles.]

So, yes. I suppose you could say that I'm asking for good milk today.

[wise_king]

[Always at the Church too so-]

Debating drinking that?

[smallestgrave]

Of course not. I'm well aware of the consequences of refusing.

[wise_king]

Mind if I watch?

[smallestgrave]

[She gives him an amused smile]

Feel free. Honestly, I'd feel better not being alone.

[She very carefully removes the cap, hesitates for just a second, then begins drinking it. She's trying to finish it as quickly as possible, so she doesn't lose her nerve.]

[Mornings don't mean too much to someone with a sleep schedule as erratic as Yuri's. Still, he's got a distinct fondness for meandering about town in the early hours of the day.

And a path that, traced Family-Circus-style, passes by the Church of Salvation fairly regularly.]

Heya. G'morning.

[smallestgrave]

[She stops, surprised. She really hadn't wanted him to see her drink this milk. Especially if it were poisoned or something.]

Yuri!

[She puts the milk bottle behind her back. 'Cause, you know, that's the best place to hide something.]

Good morning...

[bitemescumbag]

[Ha ha oh boy poison... Definitely not what he had choked down this morning, himself. Nope. Not extra-fortified, anyway. So, stubborn bastard that he is, he actually seems to be doing pretty well overall.]

[He'll offer a smile and a laugh, scratching the back of his head. Seems he missed seeing the milk, or is just ignoring it.]

Here we go again, huh? How ya holding out so far?

[smallestgrave]

I... I've been alright.

[She can't very well tell him she's been drinking the milk almost every day. She doesn't want him to worry.]

And you?
