After a quick shower Alice regretfully puts on the same clothes that she wore yesterday. Later, she plans on sneaking back into the hotel and getting some clothes, hopefully he won’t be there. She runs her hands through her wet hair then straightens up the bathroom, wiping the drops of water off of the floor then throwing the towels and wash rags in the hamper. Once she’s all done she takes a quick look around and nods once. Everything looks okay. She’s still not sure how she got here exactly but then again a lot of things from the past few days are fuzzy. But that’s all beside the point, there’s no need to be a slob and take advantage of the hospitality she’s been offered.

Me and the bathroom are c-lean! Okay, here’s the plan, go back to my… the room and tidy that up too then hunt up some food before I start gnawing on a door frame or something.

She practically tip toes back to the room, it’s not that she’s afraid of anybody catching her; it’s more along the lines that she doesn’t want to disturb anybody. Her stomach starts growling as she makes the bed and that makes her work faster. She feels like she could take on the worlds but she’s ravenous! She smoothes the wrinkles out of the bed covers than heads back out into the hallway and down the stairs. She vaguely remembers that she was in a kitchen once and she’s pretty sure it’s still there.

Alice watches the hustle and bustle intently before answering. Nobody's mentioning plans of attack, nobody's talking about where they're going to attack and nobody looks like they're on the verge of a nervous breakdown, this is... nice!

"I promise you won't hear one more word out of me, questioning any of this any more. I am honored that I am in that category... okay so I lied, one more thing."

((sorry it's taking me so long to respond, seems chaos has taken over my house LOL! ))

"oh? What's that?" Leela ducked out of the way again, ducking under Matthew's arm as he turned to the stove.

"I swear, sometimes it's like a ballet in here. Matthew is intent on caring for me, and I am intent on making it easier for him." Leela giggles and leans back once more, tnen slides out of his way and walks around the kitchen to Alice.

"You're lucky that he wants to take care of you. And you Matthew if you don't mind me saying are lucky too, that she wants to make it easier. Yeah, I'm being bold." She smiles over at Matthew before turning her attenion back on Leela. "Just that thank you for rescuing me. And not asking me to, well do what I can do. If you, either of you, ever need anything, even if it's just guard duty. I'm willing to offer my services as a former security op and current member of the LDG club."

"I am lucky. Very lucky. But there have been times in my life when I was unlucky, so I think it all balances out, someday."

"And," Leela hands her a cup of coffee, pouring some cream and sugar into her own "I did not rescue you. You rescued yourself. You made the choice, walked the walk. I was simply here when you got here."

"But you did it Alice. You saved yourself."
