Lumina will almost always answer her locket, wherever she happens to be!

[Oh crud. Lumina wasn't sure what she had thought sharing would accomplish, but it was not this.]

Sorry.

[She wasn't sure what else to say, not while Alice was bawling like that. Instead she scooted a bit closer and tried to give her another hug.]

[digophelia]

It's not your fault.

[ It's mine. She thinks to herself, she thinks she's too weak and a failure having been kidnapped. Alice isn't very thrilled about being touch, but Lumina's young enough that she gets away with it. ]

I'm afraid you're far too young to hear some things. It's more than that, that's all I will say.

But I know, my sister did the same thing, too.

[chaoticwhimsy]

Sure. [Lumina is used to that. She is a kid, but at the same time she isn't, yet it's not something she really wants to give up. So when it comes down to it, she isn't going to press the point. Besides, maybe Alice was right, maybe she really was too young to hear it.]

[As the other girl talks, Lumina releases the hug, though she keeps her hand on her back. She knew she liked that, or she thought she would. People were rarely comforting to chaos children.]

I think it's just a big sister flaw, and no matter how much you shout it at them, they can't change it.

[digophelia]

She knew that well until she passed away.

[ Lizzie was so fiercely protective of her and Alice had looked up to her in addition to her mother as a model lady. Alice wipes her eyes, and looks back down at the rabbit in her lap who hasn't budged the entire time.

Sophie was always so good about tuning into Alice's emotions. ]

You have nothing to apologize for. All of them will be leaving soon to stop Reynard and I will be here.

[ And Alice hates that; he's drained her, locked her up in a cell, and struck her so hard that she hit the ground.

But still it is nothing compared to the ten years in the asylum. ]

And he will hurt them again.

[chaoticwhimsy]

[She doesn't know what to say about the sister thing. She's lost one too, in a complicated, round-about, kinda-has-her-soul-inside-her way.]

Or maybe they'll kill him dead. [Lumina isn't entirely sure she believes it, but it's not a lie either.]

Plus you've gone through the wringer twice in a week. I'm pretty sure you get to take a couple days to not be doing that.

[digophelia]

[ More than a week, but Alice has lost track of days. Her mind simply goes back to Berserker wounded. What if she didn't intervene with the hobby horse? What would happen to him? The idea frightens her. ]

It will take more than just words for that, Lumina. Much more.

[chaoticwhimsy]

We'll see. [Lumina knows there's a plan but she doesn't know enough of the details to really be sure of anything. Heart hunting is the theme of the hour.]

You really want to be there, huh.

[digophelia]

Yes.

[ But Alice is already resigned to the fact she's too weak to go. Although- ]

But you shouldn't, you're far too young for these sort of things.
