[yesterday Chrome sent Mukurou out to give homemade chocolates to everyone she's talked to. Everyone. No, seriously if you've ever talked to Chrome before, you got chocolates. This includes the girls as well, because they're friends okay. This also includes people like Raidou and Zombie

Is there something troubling you, my lady? [Oh she didn't want him to call her that? Too bad~.]
Reply
Someone I know from my world is here that I don't want here.
[She pauses to set the communicator on a stump, so she can pace while she talks and not worry about dropping it or anything. And guess what Alois, just for you she's wearing that midriff bearing top and super short skirt with the boots just for you. And boy does this chick like skull decorations.]
He's-- dangerous.

Isn't that lucky?
[...He may have grown up on the streets, but he knew women weren't supposed to dress like that. Unless they were loose. Well well Ciel, what sort of girl have you been keeping close to your bed at night?]
Hm. That is a problem, my lady. I'm sure Ciel and Sebastian could protect you. ...Though I am nearby. Perhaps I can provide assistance as well?
Reply
[She stops and grips at her skirt, struggling in an attempt to control herself] If I had my powers I could deal with this, but I...
[Her fingers loosen and she smooths it out, turning to look at him] You're in town? I wouldn't mind seeing you. [Even though Sebastian would kill her for such a thing]

I wouldn't mind seeing you as well. Say, we should meet up some place and have a talk. Wouldn't that be grand?
Reply
At least that's what she tells herself for assurance]
...Alright. Did you have a specific place in mind?
Reply
He'd probably lose if they fought today.]
The building with the blue roof. Would that be okay with you, my lady?
Reply
I'll be there shortly. [She shuts the video off then and goes to find the building. When she finds it, she just sort of loiters around it, looking for the taller blonde.
The wind blows and she shivers a little, wishing she'd remembered to change out of her normal uniform and into the warmer clothing Sebastian had bought her]
Reply
[Alois wanders just out of sight before showing himself. He approaches her calmly and bows just slightly. Looking over her choice of clothing, he wouldn't be surprised if she were as cold as he was. Not for the first time he wished he had his coat with him.]
Lady Chrome? You look much more lovely in person.
Reply
Her face turns pink, but that could easily be excused for the cold]
Ah. Hello, Alois-san. You're a little taller than I thought you would be. [Given she's a couple inches shorter than Ciel, but somehow still gives the illusion of being tall and willowy.
Or maybe it's just the legs that stretch on forever]
That man--Julie. I would advise you to please stay away from him. [As dangerous as Sebastian makes him out to be, she still doesn't want to see Alois injured or anything
Reply
And you're short. [He looked her over, uncaring how obvious he was in his observation.]
Let's talk inside where it's warm. I won't let you stay out here with how little you're wearing. [He opens the door of the building and steps inside, holding the door open for her. The last action was an after thought, a lesson that took a while for him to learn.]
Julie is his name? Never met a bloke with a name like that. [And now he was interested.] What's he look like?
Reply
[She shouldn't go in, she knows. There's a moment of hesitation when she recalls Sebastian's words but... Well, it is very cold. And he's already holding the door out and all.
So Chrome slips past him with a soft 'thank you']
He's tall, with a goatee. Red hair and glasses... and he normally wears a white hat. [She smooths out her skirt before rubbing lightly at her arms]
Reply
Ciel is also quite short. He's nothing but a little boy~. [He watches her as she moves, carefully taking in her gait, the way her hair bounced, he watched her as her skirt was crushed against her legs -- he hadn't planned on forgetting her.] How is he, Lady Chrome? And Lady Elizabeth?
[He lets the door close behind them. Luckily, it was only a pokemart and not a more secluded building. The store clerks greeted them warmly before moving onto their other customers.]
A goatee? ...He shouldn't be hard to find. Why not find him before he finds you? That way you're one step ahead of him. And, since you are a companion of Ciel, I wouldn't mind assisting you as well. Wouldn't you like that, dearie?
Reply
She tilts her head] They're doing well. Ciel-san and I got our badges not too long ago. Elizabeth is forgoing getting badges.
[Chrome shakes her head] No. The last time I confronted him I was brainwashed, and I'd rather not repeat the experience. If he hurts someone then I'll confront him, but no sooner.
Reply
Oh. And Ciel, have you said anything to him regarding the last time we spoke?
[He grunts and narrows his eyes at her answer. He shouldn't have expected much more than passive behavior from a woman, but he thought she'd be more interesting. Lady Elizabeth hadn't seemed so passive either.]
Waiting and hiding won't stop him from being a threat especially if he's done nothing but hurt you, Lady Chrome.
Do you want to be afraid?
Reply
[She doesn't bother trying to soften her words, because it's the simple, blunt truth of the matter that they probably both know. Sebastian doesn't want Chrome associating with Alois, and Chrome is deliberately defying those orders by being with him here.]
I'm not afraid. [She tilts her head; there's no quiver in her voice; she really isn't afraid at all. Angry that Julie is here, worried about what might happen, but no real fear.] There's nothing here that scares me--I don't fear death, and I'm stronger than I look.
Without our powers here, he is a mere human. And I... hopefully my training has prepared me enough to fend him off should he decide to attack me, with or without my powers.
