* Alcinoe steps outside, then walks until she's at the side of the 
Flying Couches home, an area not so easily seen by window. She turns to 
look at Will, taking another bite of jam and bread.
* Will walks slowly behind Alci, staring at the ground in front of him. 
His mind is a giant mess as he contemplates what to say.
* Alcinoe can't read minds, so she just eats her jam sandwich.
* Will finally raises his head and looks at Alcinoe. "Um...Alci?"
<Alcinoe> Yeah?
* Will wrings his hands tightly together. "I uh.. still care a lot 
about you and um..."
* Alcinoe nods, chewing and swallowing the last of her breakfast.
<Will> I know that we're not ... anymore, but I still can't stop 
thinking ab..ab..bout you.
* Alcinoe blinks. "Oh."
* Will takes a deep breath. "and I..I..I saw you walk out of the bath 
last night. And Kenji...I can't stop thinking."
<Alcinoe> Ah.
* Alcinoe leans back against the house and looks up to the sky. "Ain't 
nothin' between us 'sides friendship."
* Will gives a noticeable sigh of relief and nods. He trusts Alci.
<Alcinoe> We needed to talk.
* Alcinoe looks to Will. "That okay?"
* Will leans back against the house too next to Alci and speaks softly. 
"Would you mind if I ask you out again? I I know that you don't feel 
the same way about me as I you. But there's so much I wish to share 
with you and speak to you about..."
* Alcinoe tilts her head.
<Alcinoe> Can't ya share and talk to me anyway?
* Will blinks. "Not out? With all the others around?"
<Alcinoe> Yeah, uh... it ain't like we gotta always talk with everyone 
around.
<Will> I just wish to spend some more time with you when we're not out 
killing.  Like the time ya spent last night with Kenji.
* Will suddenly turns bright red. "No. That came out wrong. I mean..."
* Will mumbles. "I just wish to be with ya when we're not...out."
* Alcinoe nods. "We can try ta do that."
<Alcinoe> You'd better go back in, though.  Ah'm sure the others'll 
need ya ta resurrect the headmistress soon.
* Will smiles happily at Alci's response and nods.
* Alcinoe nods, too, and gives Will a hug. "Yer a good friend. Now get 
in there, okay?"
* Will hugs back and whispers. "Thanks Alci."
* Alcinoe sighs. "Yeah. Thanks back atcha." She lets go and smiles a 
little sadly. "Ah'm... gonna walk fer a while. See if anyone needs some 
help. Ah'll be back later."
* Will lets go and nods.
* Alcinoe gives Will's shoulder a squeeze, then walks off, putting her 
hands in her pockets.
* Will watches Alci walk off before turning back into the house.
