Alice? Is that you?

[hangedhourai]

*Alice hears the phone... crap. She gathers herself together and picks the line up.*

[knowthestakes]

[obviously doesn't believe you, but she doesn't press it, gesturing to Alice's injured leg]

[hangedhourai]

Yes, fine, I'm fine!

[artwithknives]

Hey...I'll keep you safe.

[hangedhourai]

... You're so selfless that it's stupid.
