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.

"If I'm not being too nosy, Alice? How does one tax a virus? Not being a smartass, but I really have no clue what you mean by that." Leela pauses between bites.

"And what's wrong with umbrellas? I love the weather, but even I don't like to be rained on all the time."

Alice takes another quick bite before answering.

"Don't be silly! After all you've done for me, hell you couldn't be too nosey. Anyway, if I'm like fighting a lot or... if I've hurt myself really badly the virus they injected into me has to work overtime to repair the damage and keep me going." She shrugs a little. "At least that's what I think happens. But Umbrella's the name of the company I used to work for. Publicly they produced computers, medical technology, etc."

Leela listens without commenting. "Hmm.. closest thing you're gonna get to fighting here is hunting. But I do that about every week for fresh vesison or hare. Matthew would do it for me but I put my foot down. I LIKE hunting. And we always use the meat, and sell the hides to leather merchants."

"Unless you're thinking of going out and getting hurt. But it doesn't sound like a fun thing to do for fun and chuckles." She put down her spoon, took another sip of coffee.

"Hmmm, there's a story there, I think. Publicly, huh? And what did they do away from the eyes of the public?"

Alice perks up a little. Hunting... now there's an idea she's never considered and it would certainly help with the whole heightened killer instinct thing Cain babbled on about.

"I... that sounds interesting, hunting I mean. And no I never intend to get hurt but... it seems to happen." She smiles trying to reassure her. "And to answer your question, privately Umbrella was working on making secret bio-weapons for the miltary."

Hunting is good, and we could always use the fresh meat. This area has a lot of dear, some moose too. Alot of turkey, some partridge, a few black bears, stuff like that. "

"All I ask is that you not shoot at the wolves or the leopards that you might see. They are - friends of mine, or at least they could be."

Alice's mind automaically flashes to the night at the bar when she metions leopards. She gives herself a brief shake then nods.

"You have my word that I won't shoot wolves or leopards, in fact I might just try stalking some animals first. Just to see if I can. I've uhhhh never actually been hunting animals before."
