She was actually considering to go out and do other things but at this point sat down in the hotel in which she hired and apartment with Kon to have a home away from home. Maybe she should just return to the silence and peaceful setting of Orchidia, but she had an appointment next week in the bridal store to have her second fitting and well it wasn't entirely bad to stay here, her friends were here after all. The bar of this hotel was nice, the dark colours and thus not too bright light were a nice replacement for not being in Orchidia at all. If only she wouldn't fall asleep because of the dimlight, than she was good. She was holding a cup of warm tea in her hands and had her eyes closed, yeah definitely not going to happen.

He crawled over to the other side of the bed and rolled down and made his way into the bathroom. Under an hour, he walked out of there, mostly refreshed and got dressed in the 'most basic clothes' he could find. White shirt, sneakers and jeans. It would seem like he was a trend-follower, except that this type of clothing had long been out of fashion where he came from. He was coincidentally staying at the same hotel as Alice, unknowingly however. Well, one of fate's great coincidences. He hurried down the stairs and made his way into the hotel bar, and sat down next to Alice without noticing or even caring much to. He was getting more self-centered by the minute. "Can I have some beer please? In a mug." The bartender passed him his drink and Aleksandr passed him the money in return. He looked over towards Alice and shook his head in disbelief 'Do I know her from somewhere? Uh, I'm not gonna ask.'He wasn't very good at remembering faces of people that he hadn't had that much interaction with.

Her eyes shot open when she heard a thud of someone taking a seat next to her and she turned around. The guy next to her, about her age looked strangely familiar. Perhaps she was just tired and seeing things but she could have sworn that she had seen his face before. She took a sip of the now lukewarm tea and felt a shiver going down her spine, perhaps she was making things up, she had meet a lot of people lately and also a few faces that she couldn't recognize and yet have met before, like Varian. As she had been honest to him, she could be honest to this man and she placed her tea cup back on the counter. Who by the way did order beer in the morning, "Excuse me, have we met before? I'm Alice, Alice Baskerville."

He hadn't had breakfast yet and he was getting a little hungry. When he was hungry, he got short-tempered which wasn't a good thing. "Uh, have you had breakfast? Wanna get some? Might be better to catch up over food than well, tea and beer." He laughed a little awkwardly, tilted his head to the right and raised his eyebrows as he finished that statment and waited for an answer, which was hopefully yes.

As the silence ticked on in the seconds, Aleksandr was the first to speak and by his question, she noticed that he had not seen Kon either. "I'm so glad to see you. I'm doing quite well as.." She wanted to say as is Kon, he was doing alright, right now, but there had been some issues before, was it up to her to tell Aleksandr or was that Kon? She would hold off in that conversation and simply smiled, "As is Kon."
She couldn't help but grin as he suggested to get breakfast, god the brothers did look alike.. "Sure let's go do that." She finished her tea as quick as possible and stood up, "There is a nice little place not far from here." She had a lot to tell him and Alice was already trying to figure out what would be the best way to approach it, as well as not trying to be too curious where he had been for the months that they had not heard a word from him. She would guide him towards the little bakery that also served as a cafe for breakfast and lunch. Sitting down and simply looking at Aleksandr, "So much has happened."
Wed Apr 11, 2018 11:11 am
Alice agreed with his breakfast idea and even suggest a place where they could go to eat, which was good. "Let's go then." He smiled and got up and followed Alice for most of the way. The people were going on with their usual, boring work. Well, that's how life was around here. Boring. His wasn't awfully adventurous either. He wouldn't really love it if he did have an adventurous life, anyway. He sat down in front of Alice at their table and leaned back a little. She told him how so much had happened, well of course it had. He had to miss everything that ever happened to the important people in his life. Some of the only people in his life. He grinned and said "Well, I'm all ears."
Thu Apr 12, 2018 2:50 am
Well there were only a few things that she could tell with certaincy, and yet it made her blush very badly, "Ehm well after you left or well after we lost contact, ehm Kon and I.." what did she want to say; got really close? Back than she was already his girlfriend. "Well you are an uncle now." Was the best approach she could find in her mind, and it was already a terrible one. The blush on her cheeks had not disappeared yet. What more could she say about it, she felt terribly embarrassed and she didn't even know why as she liked Anton and Tanya and loved them obviously very much but.. actually no but, "I gave birth to twins about a month ago." She should be proud as she was and she was happy so, she tried to tell herself that and let go of the embarrassed feeling, "And actually it's very good to see you, I don't know if you have time but we are getting married in the summer in Orchidia, it would be wonderful if you could be there."
Sat Apr 14, 2018 5:35 am
Alice slowly revealed what events had taken place over the few months and her blushing made him giggle. "Why so shy?" he said, half-tittering and poured some water into his glass from the big jug on the table. He leaned back again and drank the whole glass. Then, Alice revealed the real deal. He was an uncle. It was good that he had finished the water in his mouth before she said that or else he would have spit the water right out, maybe on her face, not intentionally, however. He sat straight right up and exclaimed "What!? Man! Shit, I'm a very bad brother. I don't even know if my brother's got kids or not." his face fell in disappointment as he finished his statement. Apparently, she had given birth to twins a month ago. "You've been busy." he chuckled. "Wow, I was an uncle without my knowledge of the fact, crazy." he said and sighed. She then told him that she and Kon are getting married this summer and it would be wonderful if he could come. Well, of course, he was. He won't miss out on this for the world. "I am very free, I would love to come, and I'm going to come."

She gave a small smile to Aleksandr, she didn't mind his reaction, it didn't seem to mean it in a bad way and she almost felt bad that they had not tried to find him or well not her, she had no idea if Kon tried behind her back. She felt her cheeks flare up when he said that she had been busy. "It surely was a surprise but yes, Tanya and Anton." She said with the now happy beam that it was at least said, "We didn't tell many people so ehm.." She didn't want him to be disappointed in himself, things could happen but he was here now right?!
She couldn't stop smiling when Aleksandr said he would come to the wedding, this was great news and she couldn't wait to tell Konstantin. "That are the biggest things that happened." Because she wasn't the right person to start about the holy knights, "Do you, do you perhaps remember Lacie?" She remembered Alek had called her Lacie at their first meeting, and she wanted to make sure that Alek had not seen Lacie in the time of absense, Lacie was a danger and she had a warrant on her head.

While he totally didn't get why they didn't tell many people, he at the same time it wasn't his business to question it. They weren't his kids. He could somewhat understand why they would want to, though. Maybe privacy reasons, or societal ones. He didn't have much of a clue about the topic and simply said "I think I can understand." and nodded his head. They had been sitting in the bakery for some time and hadn't ordered anything, and he was getting hungry. The waitress was passing their table "Excuse me." he said in a voice just enough for the waitress to hear, but still relatively low. "Can I help you, sir?" the waitress replied in a polite, neutral tone, with a faint smile on her face. "Yeah, I'd like to order. Give me a cup of Coffee. Lotsa' cream, but not too much sugar. And give me the uh, Chocolate Glazed Cake Donut please?" the waitress said "Okay, Chocolate Glazed Cake Donut and Coffee?" and Alek replied "Yes." The waitress then turned to Alice, as Aleksandr hadn't said anything about what she's gonna order, nor did he have any intention to. He wasn't aware of her tastes, and didn't know her well enough.
Alice had said that these are the biggest things that happened. "Oh nice, I thought I missed out on some more things." He said in a very low voice and chuckled. The she asked him if he remembered Lacie, well shit yeah, of course he did. "Yeah I do, something happen?" He said and yawned. Lacie was probably the only interesting person he had met while down in what, Orchidia? He couldn't really remember. So ironic. Had he met Alice there too or was it Crocus? Oh god why was he being so dumb.

She had completely forgotten that they were in a backery and the bubble did burst when Alek asked a waitress and watched them shortly before the waitress turned to her, "A tea and the lemon poppyseed muffin please." she said, to which the waitress repeated the whole order and took off to prepare it. She turned the topic back to the update of their lives and she decided to at least try and tell as much as she could about her sister. She felt an immediate wave of regret and guilt wash over her when she thought about it again but tried to let it go, again. "She is a wanted person now. I bumped into her about a year ago in Crocus, where she confessed to planning to kill me or well more or less. After that she was put in prison or well locked up in the hospital wing there for her health. Someone let her go and she.." Alice turned her golden eyes away from Aleksandr and looked at the table, "She was in the same inn as Kon and I in Baska and she attacked him while he was wounded. Thanks to her magic.. thanks to.. he lost his left eye." Perhaps it was better to tell, it was her sister and she didn't want Aleksandr to focus on it or be surprised when Kon would be here or when they would meet.

Then he watched and heard Alice unload information about Lacie, and he kept quiet through all of it. When she was finished, he blinked and raised his eyebrows, in shock. "Wow...I never thought she was capable of all of this. Through our brief encounter, I never assumed she was this kind of a person. But...it's a good thing...you told me about all of this. I guess I shouldn't have judged her like that when I didn't really her know her any well. Damn, she attacked Kon too, wow." He sighed. He was overcome by many emotions - grief, disapointment and pity being only some of them. By the time he was finished saying what he had said, his hands were on the table, and he was sitting straight up. "Well, that escalated quickly. From happy to sad real fast. Wow, life." He said and looked around. After all of  that, he just sat there a little awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
When the conversation had ended, he simply said "Well, I gotta split. It was nice to see you. We'll meet again in Orchidia I guess." He said and paid his bill. He exited the bakery.

When she finally made a decision that Alek would need to know about Lacie, she didn't know where to start or where to stop, so a waterfall of information came from her mouth and she felt a bit releaved by telling all. She didn't like talking about her sister, but she felt that Aleksandr needed to know, not only was there a warrant on Lacie her head, there was so much going out with them together, as in her and Kon that Alek had all the rights to know about his brother. She shook her head slightly, she had not thought Lacie capable as well, "She surely did change last I saw her in Era. Where she was weak and frail, she didn't show anything like that anymore." She muttered, more to herself and the realization something must have happened, the question was only what.
She felt a bit guilty from going from one extreme to the next, "As much as that is true," and it felt for her the same as she still felt tads guilty towards her fiance, "It's better to keep my mind on the positive things, also because a wedding has a lot of things to arrange." she said with a small grin. Not long after that their order arrived and she wasn't sure what else to tell to Aleksandr, but it was perhaps a selfish way to think like that, "So what happened to you if I may ask?"
The conversation would go on longer than finishing breakfast but it was nice to catch up. She told Alek that they would leave soon to orchidia and that he should definitely come there too to meet Kon.
Exit.
