*Alice's aimlessly pacing around her room. She's not sure what she needs to do beside find somebody to help her learn to control... whatever it is. The urge to just leave isn't quite as bad as it was since she's figured out that her Keeper most likely hasn't found her here yet but the two men that look and sound just like him still make her nervous enough to want to run. And that's not even mentioning the whole was that her Rain or... another problem. She's made it halfway around the room for the fifth time when she hears a knock on the door. She narrows her eyes and goes to the door. She peeks out the window next to it and blinks. Speak of the devil... She opens the door and cocks her brow.*

Rain... How'd you find me here?

Alice groans and covers her face when he sits down beside her. He's going to be impossible to live with if she admits that he might possibly be right. She parts her fingers and looks over at him.

"Yeah there's a lot of you here but I'm not sure where any of them but you and maybe Jack's you are staying..."

She trails off not sure what to say. Everything's nuts! And with him so close she's starting to lose what brain cells she has like always. She lowers her hands and turns to face him.

"I'm not worried about Dick because I have a strange feeling that no matter what he does, all of you will survive... look why are you here anyway?"

"Told you. Angela sent me to make sure you were alright."

[alice_abernathy]

Alice arches her brow, forcing herself not to feel guilty about leaving the little girl behind.

"Like it was just her... How is she by the way?"

She's trying hard to be civil since the chances of him leaving anytime soon are slim to none.

"She's fine. They're all fine. Someone said something about the furniture not having to worry about dismemberment anymore."

He looks over at her with a wry grin.

[alice_abernathy]

"Good, cause okay I was worried... but bon't make me regret hurting you!"

She grins at him as she thinks 'Okay I've gone nuts why am I playing nice again?'

[curious-riddick.livejournal.com]

Riddick just stares at her. His grin getting bigger.

[alice_abernathy]

Alice scoots further away from him when he starts grinning. It's never a good sign, especially since she's been away for a while. God knows what he's been planning.

"So... since you've found me, guess you'll be going back... maybe?"

[curious-riddick.livejournal.com]

"I only just got here. You could just be putting on a brave face for me. No. I need to make sure everything is okay before I go back. And even if everything is okay with you. Dick the cat with a nuke. Not okay."

"I don't want to have to face Angela until I can give her a really good report."

"So... which half of the bed is mine?"

[alice_abernathy]

Alice pushes herself up and starts pacing again, to release some of her nervous energy and mainly to put some distance between them. She runs her hands through her hair and sighs.

"Fine... but who said you're sleeping in the bed with me?"

[curious-riddick.livejournal.com]

Riddick puts his gloggles up on his forehead and arches an eyebrow at her.

"If not there, where?"

[alice_abernathy]

Alice stops pacing long enough to look over at him. 'I still think he's been infected!'

"You could always stay on the couch... or find where ever Dick's staying, oh yeah that's right he wants to blow you all to smithereens."

She doesn't mention that she's actually asked somebody not to give Dick a chainsaw.

[curious-riddick.livejournal.com]

He looks over at her and shrugs.

"But I don't fit on the couch. See."

Riddick demonstrates by stretching out on the couch. He crosses his ankles on the arm rest.

[alice_abernathy]

Alice arches her brow when he lays down then starts smiling.

"Looks like you fit on there to me!"

[curious-riddick.livejournal.com]

"I'd be a grumpy Riddick come morning," he warns with a smile.

Actually he doesn't mind where he sleeps as long as he gets to stay in the same appartment with her. The floor would be fine. Letting her feel like she's winning something, by dismissing him to the couch, is a good plan. Definitely slept in worse places.

[alice_abernathy]

Alice blinks!

"You're not grumpy now?! Wait... this is you in a good mood right?"

[curious-riddick.livejournal.com]

"A very good mood."

[alice_abernathy]

Alice shakes her head and chuckles.

"And you wonder why I named him Dick."

[curious-riddick.livejournal.com]

Riddick sits up and pats the sofa next to him.

"So, why don't you come be still for a moment and fill me in on how you're really doing."

[alice_abernathy]

"I'll sit down on one condition."

She walks over to the table and grabs her drink. This is actually going better than she thought it would.

[curious-riddick.livejournal.com]

"And that would be?"

[alice_abernathy]

"You don't try anything, I don't think I can handle another R named person trying to put the moves on me."

[curious-riddick.livejournal.com]

"One of the other 'R's tried to make a move on you?"

[alice_abernathy]

Alice shakes her head as she walks back over to the couch. She perches on the back of it and looks down at him.

"No... not one of you, but that woman that ran out of here. She... kissed me. I think she thinks we're together or something."

[curious-riddick.livejournal.com]

"Rain? Thought you looked happier than usual to see me. I promise to behave."

[alice_abernathy]

Alice manages a grin.

"If you don't... I'll tell Dick where you're staying at... tho' I think he knows. But yeah, I... thought she was my friend."
