[Action]

[shestalkingnonsense]

[There's a little girl sitting on top of the Iris cabin, her legs dangling over the edge and a book in her hands. She's got a glazed ovr look in her eyes, despite having the book, and she's not paying much attention to anything around her.

Alice has lost track of time again. She meant to come down hours ago but her mind rose up, pulled her into the strange caverns of her imagination and did not let her go. She's drifting, lost in thought and almost too out of reach to get in touch with one.

A soft hum comes from her ever so often, snatches and snippets of a song that she hears in her head. She's not singing outright but if she were a little more aware, she would be.

Someone might want to get her down, or pull her out of her Wonderland. At the very least, they should probably get her away from the edge of the roof.]

[She watches as it tumbles giggling and waving as it hits the nymph. It would make more sense if she were waving at the being who could actually notice she was doing so but no, Alice was waving at the shoe.

Reading, other things. Getting by. [She pouts a little[ Sorry I....didn't say goodbye. I didn't know if you would be coming back. I didn't want to see you go away and not come back.

Alice, look at me.

[He puts a finger under his sister's chin, tilting her face up to look at him.]

I'm not going to leave and not come back, ever, 'kay?

Well, except for when I do this.

[He snaps his fingers, going invisible. Don't worry, he's still there.

This moment was a little too heavy for him, even as important as this moment was to him. He kind of had to inject some humor.]

[shestalkingnonsense]

She nods slowly, watching him.] Okay. I'll try not to Sometimes I go away, get lost in Wonderland instead of here but I usually come back! I didn't want to for a while but I've got you now, that's worth coming back for. [She smiles.

There's a startled little noise when he vanishes though and she pouts, poking he air where had been[ You're a strange as the birds. Flutter-fluttering off like they do.

[Gabriel isn't quite sure what she's talking about with the whole Wonderland thing just yet, but he writes it off as her being a little kid. They all get a kick from playing pretend, and that just might be a world she made up.

But the whole coming back thing? That really gets to him, and he just slings an arm around his little sister's shoulders, still invisible. Don't worry, she'll still feel it.

And as usual, he comes back as soon as he's gone.]

I'm afraid it's my most useful talent. Running away. Some people say it's cowardly, but I dunno. Gotten me out of some pretty sticky things.

[She leans into the touch, smiling and content for the moment. When he speaks though,s he scrunches sup her face, confused by the notion. But...You're surviving. In the end, that's what maters. You survive.
