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.

He shrugs helplessly. He's loved the time he's spent with his new mistress and wants to do nothing but serve her.

She glances around, then picks up her coffee mug, slirps the last of it.

"Matthew, would you mind?" Holding out the empty mug. "I'd love some more, please."

Matthew takes her mug.

"I'd be delighted Mistress" He leaves the room and comes back a few minutes later with a fresh cup, brining the carafe in case they want more. He sets the cup in front of her.

"Your coffee"

Reaching out, she takes his hand before he pulls away, and kisses the back of it lightly. "Thank you Matthew" She lets his hand go, picks up the mug.

"Thank you so much."

He's a little surprised and he smiles softly.

"You're very welcome."

Alice just watches the interplay between the two as she eats. The affection they both display toward each other is... adorable. Not that she would ever say that but it's the truth. She smiles and takes another bite.

Leela looks up. "Matthew is my hero too, Alice." she smiles softly, playing with the spoon in her hands. "See, I'm um - well, it hasn't happened since I was a kid, but now.. well I'm afraid of the dark."

She smiles sheepishly, looks away, embarrassed. "And Matthew here, he chases away the nightmares for me so I can sleep again. Like last night, for instance." Her eyes slide upwards towards her servant. "Thank you again for that, Matthew."

A haunted look crosses her face for a second and she starts pushing bits of pancake around on her plate.

"There's nothing wrong with that, Leela. I think everybody needs somebody to chase away the nightmares."

"Well, Matthew does it for me. And I am eternally grateful. Bad enough I got my throat ripped out - I really do not need to dream about it every night. That's why, if you notice? The halls are lit all night long, even if it's a night light." Leela smiles at her servant again, looks across the tabe at the other woman.

"Not hungry any more, Alice? How about some coffee?"

[alice_abernathy]

Alice smiles as she pushes away her plate. It was delicious!

"Thanks but no, I should be going to get my stuff soon. In my own humble opinion, you don't need to dream about it ever." She leans back on the couch and puts her hands over her belly. "The nightlights are a good idea! Hopefully in time the nightmares for you will fade, especially with Matthew's help."
