Alkaid thought about it for a second - what else to really say about her boring lifestyle, besides give him the plain and simple details? She wasn't sure he wanted to know, and she was kind of worrying a little bit about coming off like a normal high school student, like the rest of her peers. She was popular in her class, even though she poked her nose into books a little too often to really spend much time with others, but she'd always wanted to go above and beyond, show that she was stronger...
It was just stupid that she wasn't stronger IRL. And that she could never have such heroic adventures in Sapporo.
She poked him gently with her bat, smiling testily. Her mouth was watering. "And, besides, Mr. Private Investigator, you could have probably figured out what I do in real life by now. If you're that good. Hint: I'm honestly not really looking forward to going back to it."
This hallway was full of doors, so Alkaid was taking her time with walking; she didn't want to walk right past the place and have the eyepatch have to drag her back. And walking more slowly would keep her from alerting the proper monster authorities. Surprise attacks were the best!
