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.

"I see." Alice took all this information slowly, trying to get a feel for the words Chizuru said that she was not all too familiar with. "Well, I personally believe that finding love in this world can be as much of a battle as anything else. I daresay I haven't been in love, but it strikes me to have the same principals. You have to be stealthy, steady and you have to be willing to give in a little. It sounds easy, but is actually one of the hardest things in the world to do. I can't see how going 'online' would strengthen such ideals, but everyone is different I suppose."

Alice wasn't sure why, but she bristled when Chizuru mentioned what this "Tatsuki" person did. "I can't say I approve of bullying for such an absurd reason, but I suppose there is much about people I must come to understand. Let us be frank, my dear: Sora and I could not think anything less of you if you were able to throw wagons or could barely throw a ball. The only that matters is that now that we're teamed up, we will stay that way. If it comes to fighting, I am more than fully prepared to take down an army for your safety."

She said the last part with certainty, then looked out the window. "Well, it looks as if we're almost there."
