She had her eyes closed and was wondering if the ice bag was really doing anything to help with her headache. When she heard Niru-chan asking if she was alright, though, a smile appeared in her face. The girl seemed to have a way to always lift her mood.<br/><br/><strong>"Hai, Niru-chan! I'm fine! I had to give up the fight, but I'll certainly kick Ralena's ass in a next time. You'll see!"</strong><br/><br/>The gunslinger didn't see the unexpected visitor. Only when the entire guild hall seemed to have gone silent, she saw everyone looking at the main entrance and she turned her face towards there as well. Alice was certainly shocked. She never had expected to see him so soon.<br/><br/><em><strong>"Well hello again, blondie... You dress like that often? I might pay visits more often if you did,"</strong></em>greeted Gaius Eigenfilter, the powerful mage Alice managed to defeat in her last mission.<strong>"Red?"</strong>whispered the blonde, blushing. For a moment, she really thought he would be there just to see her. And the mention he did to her current attire made her feel embarrassed and a bit excited as well.<br/><br/>But all impressions she had vanished when Red announced to the entire guild the reason of his visit. Alice felt disappointed and powerless. In their last encounter, it seemed Gaius would turn to the good. What he was planning this time, with another one of his 'observations'?<br/><br/><strong>"Niru-chan, stay here. That guy is dangerous,"</strong>said Alice in a low tone. She stood up and joined Lyuk when he confronted Red.<strong>"I heard about this Eclipsium thing before... It's more complicated than you guess,"</strong>she whispered to Lyuk, praying to be wrong. Looking at small symbol appearing at the palm of her hand didn't help her at all.<br/><br/>Looking at Red, the blonde asked:<strong>"Red, what are you doing, teaming up with baddies once again? Didn't you learn anything back there in Leolt? I thought you had give up this kind of life!"</strong>She was serious, there was a hint of concern in her eyes. Could be she was mistaken about him? But if it was true, why he didn't kill those mages in cold blood? Why did he save her back there? Someone could say Alice was being foolish, but she still believed Red wasn't a bad person. Maybe, if he did join Fairy Tail, he wouldn't be up to those bad, dangerous acts again.
