Perhaps she judged the cultists more harshly because of what they did to her.  From her perspective, they were more than willing to pull her from her home and use whatever she had inside her for their own benefit.  It made Emlyn into a savior of sorts, though she somehow knew he would probably feel uncomfortable if she used that word to describe him.  So to her, his actions with the cultists may have been tough, but what sort of creatures would destroy a woman's life just for the power they might gain?  The kind that deserved much of what they had gotten.  "They attacked your land and your livelihood, I struggle to have a lot of pity for them, considering their actions."  Alice shrugged.  She was genuinely a kind person but that did not mean she was without a strong sense of justice.<br/><br/>As he pulled the conversation back to what had happened the night before, a faint blush came to her cheeks.  He had been quiet long enough that she half expected him to say it was a bad choice, that they should not have done what they did.  She considered his question a moment, but she was thankful when he finally continued.  Alice was relieved that she had not complicated things for him, and though the night before had meant a good deal to her, she realized he was right.  It was simply a casual encounter.  If things continued, perhaps there could be more.  Alice wondered if that was truly what she wanted.  The idea of being both pleasing and useful to him felt really good, but were she to become close with him and someday they discovered a way to send her back to her world, she was sure it would be difficult to leave him behind.<br/><br/>"I did...Enjoy it, I mean."  Even if she had been sore today, it had been a satisfying sexual experience.  "It relieved some pressure for me as well.  If you don't think it will cause an issue in the future, I will do my best to stay in line with that."  She took a bite and a smile tugged at her lips as she chewed.  "I'll be honest though, I'm kind of surprised a man like you, with your generosity, wealth and power, doesn't already have someone in his life to help him...Relieve stress after an annoying quarter."  She said, echoing his words back to him.  Alice was honestly curious about him, she wanted to know more about his life and why he seemed to live with such solitude.
