Roy King watched the scene in confusion. He did not make a sound, because he knew Alice probably had no attention to spare for him.
But Alice noticed his gaze. She reined in her anger, looked at Roy King, and after pondering for a moment, asked:
"Do you know how to curse? The kind with profanity."
"Huh?" Confusion stained Roy King's eyes.
"I still think swearing would feel more satisfying at a time like this..." Alice muttered. "But I only know a few, and the ones I know are still... Tsk, even if I wanted to curse his mother, he doesn't have one for me to curse."

"Tell me what happened between you and Will Auceptin... In detail. The more detailed, the better."

"You pushed Rejoice's matter onto the Rose School?"
"Yes." Roy King lowered his head.

"No." Roy King Shook His Head. "Miss Fortune, may I ask you a question?"
"Go ahead." Alice agreed.

"You don't need to worry." Alice Shook Her Head. "Unless he rummages through your memories, he cannot learn through your fate that we know each other. However..."
Alice Paused, Rubbed Her
