Though she had been overwhelmed by her experiences here, what had transpired today had not had a negative impact on her.  Quite the opposite, in fact.  She felt mostly refreshed in body and mind, despite her new and strange surroundings. She shook her head as she settled into the chair that he had pulled out for her.  Her eyes found his and she looked at him with both curiosity and confusion.  "I don't think I've ever had a man apologize for pampering me, that has to be a first...Though you have no need to apologize, dinner sounds absolutely lovely."<br/><br/>The only fear she had was that she might spill something on the beautiful dress that Azure had crafted.  Alice had worried she might feel over-exposed in the garment, since she wore so little beneath it, but the construction and flexibility was unparalleled.  It was as if the dress itself was guided by some magic to remain tight against her form, and with everything she had seen up to this point, it would not surprise her if the garment was enchanted to do just that.  There was so much to marvel at in this world and she had no doubt that this was just the tip of what it had to offer.  If she had to remain her, for a time, at least it would not be boring and it seemed as if she would be well cared for.  Once they were both settled and the meal had began, Alice remarked upon the documents that were next to him.<br/><br/>"Did you find something out about how they brought me here?  Why they chose me?"  Perhaps it was just random.  Maybe they were aiming for someone else, and they ended up pulling her through.  She had thought of several scenarios over the course of the day and they all seemed equally viable.  Except for the one where she was something special, a battery or something like it.  In her world, she was just an average young woman.  Surely if she had some hidden power lurking within her, it would have come out in some fantastical way.<br/><br/>As the chef presented them with the food, Alice consumed it slowly and carefully, both because some things were unfamiliar to her and because she dared not mark the beautiful dress that Azure had made.  Even if the designer was sort of odd, she had already started to feel like a friend to Alice.  The thought of being friends with the feline woman caused Alice to look at Emlyn and wonder if he was her friend.  No, not in the same way she had started to regard Azure.  He felt like the prince of some odd fairytale she had stepped into and though she might have been cast as the long-lost princess, that role did not seem to quite fit them either.  Perhaps it was all a bit too juvenile, even in this world.
