The idea that she might be able to look in on her family some day, or re-live her memories of them, was oddly comforting to Alice.  That was the greatest loss she felt.  If she could possibly view her world, then perhaps, even if she could not go back, she could let her parents know that she was okay.  Alive, just in a place where she could not make her way back to them.  It was a small sliver of hope, but one she could hold onto as she continued her new life in this world.  That was just the way it would be.<br/><br/>Her tears slowed as she listened to Emlyn relate the story of his past.  She seemed even more fascinated by him than she had been before.  The ticking noise she had heard when he had gotten close suddenly began to make a lot more sense, if he was not human.  Alice remembered a few tales of homunculus from her world religion classes, but they had never looked like he did.  They were odd, mishapen creatures, built to serve some purpose.  It was heart pulling to hear that his creator had simply wanted a child and used magic to get one.  Alice could fault no man for such a deed, nor could she fault his creation, though she wondered if some did based on how Emlyn told the tale.<br/><br/>Deep brown eyes met his as he shifted closer to her, and a sudden impulse pushed its way to the front of Alice's mind.  He had said he would be her friend in this world, but from the moment he had taken her under his care, it had not felt like platonic friendship between them.  Perhaps she overstepped with her thoughts, but she had seen the way he looked at her, the want in his eyes.  She had also picked up on the way that Azure seemed to draw them together, both with the idea of matching their clothes in a way and just how the woman spoke of Emlyn while they were going about the day earlier.  Azure seemed to desire that Alice knew Emlyn could be a generous, caring man, toward things that belonged to him.  Though the words had struck her as odd, it was not an uncommon turn of phrase in Alice's world, to refer to men and women belonging to one another.  Alice had not given the concept much thought beyond that.<br/><br/>Now, as she sat there with him, certain impulses started to bubble up in her mind.  She wanted so badly to feel as if she was not alone in this world, and here he was not only offering her a place to stay, survive, and perhaps thrive, but something more as well.  The alcohol she had consumed also seemed to hit her all of the sudden, causing her to feel emboldened.  Alice shifted closer to him as well, and in an instant, she pressed her lips to his.  Self-awareness invaded her mind and she immediately regretted the impulse decision, pulling slightly back and away, though she remained on the couch.<br/><br/>"I-I'm sorry.  I don't know what came over me...I have felt like I fell into a nightmare and then stepped into a dream, thanks to the opportune moment where you saved me and I just..."  She pushed out a sigh and looked away from him.  "This entire day, the relaxation, dinner, you, it has felt like something out of a fairytale and my emotions overtook me..."
