Momentary lapse (and a snack and a half)

Alice snapped her journal shut, glad to be able to do something besides stare out the window. The last time she boarded a train she'd been beyond the looking glass, and while that had a very interesting view with equally interesting creatures, here she felt as if she were being lulled to sleep.

Reading Sora's message and feeling very famished, she got up and left Rinoa and Robert, looking for a bite to eat. She had made sure to carefully place her Vorpal blade on her right thigh, concealed from prying eyes, and proceeded to the back of the train to meet up with Sora.

Sora grinned at Chizuru, his friendly self as always. "Hi!" he said brightly. He wiped the last of the chocolate from his face, and made a grand gesture at the stand.

"The sweets, they're really, really good here! You should try some!" He glanced out at the other compartments and sighed, his boredom showing through. "It beats looking out the window and playing I-Spy anyway, you know?"

"Hi..." At least this boy didn't seem creepy (though he had a GIRL name...). "I'm Chizuru. Hope you don't mind me joining you guys? I missed the train and got separated from my classmates, and the locals just... aren't all there, you know what I mean?" -performing the universal gesture for a screw loose in the head.

Nonetheless, the sweets did look appetizing, and after a few moments of oogling, Chizuru recalled that she'd used up one of her last shiny things just getting on the train and couldn't afford dessert.

Drat, now that was a problem.

Alice returned, adjusting her dress, an armful of sweets in her hand. Unlike some of the others, she had been diligently looking at journals and had made sure to grab at anything shiny she could find, and so allowed herself some indulgences. Upon seeing Chizuru without anything to eat, she immediately decided that this was not to go unseen. Without a word, she gave half of her sweets to Chizuru, looking her dead in the eye.

"This place is unpleasant enough with no way of returning to a former world. You needn't be without sustinance. I could never allow such a thing."

She tried to smile kindly, then looked to Sora. "Well, I think you have been abusing the sweets in your possession. It's all over your chin!"
