There was a fountain in the easy going town as Hargeon, she was wearing a high blue skirt that covered her small baby bump, so no one would know or see. She was wearing a white blouse tugged into the sea blue colour of her skirt. She was daydreaming about a lot of things at the moment, she was making swirls and rounds in the water of the fountain, sitting on the very edge of the fountain. Normally she wouldn't like being close to water but lately she didn't seem to mind. Who knew maybe it was because of the baby.

Jupiter was somewhere around but Glaceon was laying next to Alice with her head on Alice her lap. She liked being close to her companion, she was sure Jupiter kept an eye on the two of them. She hummed softly to herself and Hecate as she kept on swaying from left to right. It was a nice autumn day, not too cold, a blue sky and a little bit of sun to keep the citizens and visitors of Hargeon warm. Alice her complexion was a bit better, she was still a bit pale and thin but she was doing her very best to get stronger and healthier for herself and well, she called it: the little peach. The baby.

She wasn't entirely sure what to do, she had decided that with the loss of her magic that it might be better to resign from her lieutenant rank and from the knights all together, but it was a very difficult decision, even though it was an easy one if you looked at magic and she sighed heavily, making Hecate look up at her, she was still in her recover period, so basically she was fine for now.

She was not ready yet to meet others than her companions and Konstantin. But she didn't want to sit inside when the weather was like this. And besides, she was sure Jupiter was keeping an eye on her to protect her from strangers.

Eva felt that a lot happened in the past few days. Almost as if she was lost somewhere between her reality and some sort of delirium, Eva woke up that morning with a startling dream of something being sucked out of her. Whatever traces of the dream disappeared the moment she opened her eyes but the familiar feeling of fear and dread remained in her mind, creating a perfectly annoying headache early in the morning for the model. Not even hours later, as she currently walked down the noisy streets of Hargeon, did the headache subside. Instead, the whispering and chattering of the people had set it on high mode. If someone was to bump into her at that moment, Eva would probably never be able to control her emotions. In a very distant part of her conscious, Eva sort of knew that the cause of her troubles were the possible loss of her dear friend, Alice. Despite being in the town for a few days now, she had not seen nor heard anything about the orange haired neko. It worried her quite a bit.

She wanted to believe that Alice was ok, that somehow she got through it all, and she was doing well but with no proof to ascertain her beliefs, Eva had even went as far as trying to drown her sorrows with one thing she never thought she would touch in her life, alcohol. Of course, that incident didn’t go so badly thanks to the nosy man that sat next to her but it was still a good example of how her will was breaking apart. This was exactly why she never wanted to get closer to someone or make any sort of deep relationships. They were a weakness and as much as Eva wanted to turn back time and go back to the point where she only had herself to rely on, she knew she had already gotten the taste of the kind of happiness these relationships and ties could bring. In the end, she was just conflicted.

“Grr,” something growled below her, immediately drawing Eva’s attention to the yellow creature with lightning bolt like projections coming up around its fur. “A jolteon?” She wondered what it was doing there. Those creatures were extremely rare to find, after all. It didn’t look all too happy to see her either as it quickly turned its tails and ran off, Eva following its direction with her eyes to find the familiar physique of an orange haired woman that Eva missed dearly. Without any words, she ran over to the woman at full speed. She was alive! Alice was standing right in front of her, perfectly fine. “Alice!” She rushed over, throwing her arms around the woman. For the first time in a very long time, Eva felt like crying and laughing all at the same time. “I’m so glad that you are alright!”

Compared to the steady knight she had been before, she was like a spiritual person now. Or one that completely lost it because she was not paying attention to anyone at the moment. It didn't all matter anymore she had other things to worry about mainly because of the matters at hand. Magic. Job. Her friends. Family. She took another deep breath and Hecate opened her eyes again, "It is alright Hecate. Don't worry. But suddenly her companion jumped up and looked towards where the noise was coming from, slowly Alice turned her face to only notice blonde hair around her face. Her golden hazel coloured eyes turned bigger in surprise. She was afraid of knights but she immediately knew who this was.

She coughed a little for the immediate bump against her pregnant belly but she was fine. She bit her lip softly to not cry, damn hormones. "Hello Eva, it is good to see you." she sort of ignored the comment about herself though she was sure she looked better than yesterday. Jolteon growled again but Glaceon made him stop because it wasn't. Alice pushed Evangeline a little away from her to see her face, she smiled and hoped that her tears would be ignored, "I have missed you. How are you?"

She placed her own left hand on her stomach and leaned back on the fountain because even though it was getting better, her body was still getting used to getting recovered. The whole reason why she didn't work yet and that the council kept it silent where the lieutenant was. "I should have send you a letter."

She talked a bit with Evangeline, she really had missed her. Considered her as her best friend and now she was again splitting up. She was so tired and her legs still hurt a bit but she was doing fine, she was still training hard and she had to tell Eva that she had no magic and it was hard to admit, even though she had said it to Konstantin with ease yesterday, she was actually glad that she didn't had trouble with that. But it was quite a hard conversation to tell Evangeline what all happened. She kept her pregnancy out of it as well as what the Magic Council had done to her to keep it a secret and that they suggested to fire her if she didn't get her magic back soon.

She knew at least that the loss of her magic would be felt by Evangeline because her friend knew exactly how that felt and thus was it easier to discuss than with anyone else. But she had also been afraid it might open wounds that Evangeline had closed off, for it was a longer story than just simply not being able to use it anymore.

Exit.
