week 4, tuesday
in all honesty, alex is a little... nervous about this conversation. she's the only one who is still on uneven ground here, and there's a part of her that feels... oddly insecure about all this. like the odd one out, or the spare part but-- well. she'd said it to hansa, beforehand -- if she ever had got her courage up and told him how she felt, she was always expecting that emet-selch would be part of the deal, if hansa felt the same way.
she'd had time to process that, file it and essentially accept it. that was why she'd reached out to properly talk to him yesterday, but... things still felt a little off kilter, after everything. and she'd thought the past weekend had been a lot. ]
... C'mon. Focus, focus.
[ she takes a deep breath, and makes her way into the forest, heading for the places she usually went here -- where chiron was usually wandering, when she wanted to talk. ]
no subject
[Says a familiar voice - Hansa, somehow no longer a frog, sees her and waves, approaching with a wide, happy smile. Its been a busy last couple of days, especially with all the talks he's been having, but he's more than happy to let this happen as it should.]
[He reaches for her hand.]
The other two are nearby. Lets go.
[And assuming she'll let him, he'll lead her further in the forest, to where the other two are standing.]

also there are so many blankets. did they just take every blanket they could from the inn? it's very possible. alex is trying to lift some of them and figure out where they're going to go to build this blanket fort. ]
How did you even go about this last time, Hansa? All I remember was you and Won shocking each other and making no progress.
[ there were chairs involved, right? well they have plenty of chairs here.... ]
no subject
...I don't see why you want to build a blanket fort when I still have nightmares about thinking about nothing but building blanket forts. [A beat.] I'm kidding about the nightmares, but seriously...blanket forts...

Hm, fascinating. Some of this literature I'm not familiar with.
[He's got at least five books surrounding him, some heavy and brimming with knowledge...
And then he's got a comic book opened about some weird pirates sailing the Grand Prix Line or something]
Rubber would be an interesting power to command, I admit.

He'll on occasion exchange a look with Hansa, but otherwise -- oh, actually.
There is one thing of note he wishes to say.]
One of you is welcome to my reward for this week. I have no intentions of using something like this again.
[And so he pushes a wedding RSVP onto the table, it's fine]

[But isn't that what to expect, in a cruel place like this? Hansa doesn't want to think about it, so he's here, looking through some of the books idly before addressing the others.]
...Well, I'm just glad that we're all here.

[Someone very close to his heart was upset all execution so Chiron is somewhat edged away from the group, just sitting in his displeasure. He's fine, he just needs space to ... think.]
Though I would ask you three for your thoughts. [...] At this point, I do not think it wise to assume we will successfully find our killers, or at least not place the bulk of our hopes on that. We've failed twice already. [Spoken frankly as someone who even tried to force a scapegoat; the system isn't great.] So rather I would turn to gathering Nova in other ways.
... Do you think using the Wedding RSVPs for that reason would be beneficial? [A sigh] I dislike meddling in the emotions of others, but if they were used with care, then perhaps...

yes.
alex is just immediately examining all the products on the counters - skin care, hair care, and make up products with more than just casual interest, turning over some of the bottles to read the backs for more information as she goes. ]

week 6, tuesday
alex is just... looking around for an area that looks like it might be decently sheltered? does it rain here in the realm? we just don't know. but she's nabbed her pillows off her bed and a big sweater from the emporium that's probably more chiron's size than hers, so she'll be nice and warm and is looking to settle herself down somewhere.
she's humming as she chooses somewhere. ]
no subject
But Alex has the right idea -- gotta find a space to sit first.]
Might I suggest somewhere shaded to avoid the sun come morning?

she's tired, and they have no idea what's happening tomorrow, but all of them are here right now and she can't bring herself to put a dampener on how warm and happy she's feeling right in this moment. ]
