The following morning Alice woke up early, finding Hecate on the other side of the bed, curled up in her human form. She softly sat up herself, trying to not wake Hecate, and either her friend didn’t wanted to be woken up or she was really asleep but Alice took a clean t-shirt and her pair of jeans from yesterday and got out of the bed once she was ready and brushed her long hair with her fingers, it was a bit messy but that was okay in the ponytail that she got. She opened the door as softly as she could, she didn’t know if Hecate and Jupiter got sharper hear now that they were human or if it worked the same as their pet like state. She found Jupiter on the couch, clearly not asleep, not looking up at her either, he was staring at the ceiling, hand pressed against his forehead as if thinking hurt him, one leg off the couch, the other on top of it, his other hand brushing the carpet. She didn’t say anything, they will come to her when they wanted to like Hecate had done and she walked to the little kitchenette that they had and worked on some breakfast for herself. She had already decided that she would go on a job today to give them some time again and hopefully they would make up and she could leave for her family back home, it wouldn’t be that bad. She smiled at herself as that would be okay. She worked on the cornflake and the right amount of milk and leaned against the cabins and the cupboard while eating. She noticed in the corner of her eye that Jupiter turned his face towards her, his own golden eyes looking hollow and empty, he had cried too, it was clearly visible, ”I’m sorry.” And this let Alice turn her face towards him, ”You don’t have to say that to me. You don’t owe me anything, Jupiter. You picked me and I am glad you did, I was afraid something happened but I was also sure that you are capable to protect yourself. It’s Hecate that is broken, I’m fine.” Which seemed to hurt him even more but she wasn’t going to say anything to make things better if she didn’t feel like it needed to be said. He sat up straight, ”I know,” and Alice understood that he knew, she was sure that he wasn’t acting stupid or on a whim, he had to make a decision two days ago and he did, and it had perhaps brought a few regrets with him but he couldn’t turn back time, ”Look I will go out and find a job, but please, tell her as much as you can. If she gets angry about that, at least you are sure that you told her everything. You rather have that than to betray her trust in you.” All the advice she could give right now.
