>>19485952"..I don't think that's how kisses work."
"You don't think that's how /what/ works?"
Having supposedly heard only a partial of your words, Serena beckons for you to reiterate what you just said with crossed arms and a suspicious glare. Needless to say, your spine shoots up and your mouth searches for the first thing on your mind to use as an excuse.
"U-U-Uh, I-I mean, um, ALICE BEING DIRTY DOESN'T WORK--I mean, LOOK AT ALL THAT DIRT ALL OVER HER, not to mention all that excess snow, hail, and bacteria--GOSH JIPPITY GEE, she needs a bath l-like now, don't you agree? I AGREE, LOOK AT HER FACE, IT'S COVERED IN SOOT. Dirty lolis are bad lolis you know--"
Of course, the mention of bathing strikes Alice with fear, she immediately starts fidgeting and tries to get out of your hug-hold, "N-No, nooo! No baths, NO BATHS!~ I-I don' want one! N-No fair, you cheated, you're lyin', y-you're 'jus makin' 'scuses 't 'covah up!!" she cries.
Still wary, but not enough to press forward, Serena pockets her journal in her purse and looks toward Frost Cavern, "So, shall we be on our way? I'm done with the draft for the battle, I made sure to put extra detail in it, as per your request."
"U-Uh yeah! Just as soon as we find one of those small pools that eskimos use to fish and stuff."
