Oh, Sophie.

[ Alice says this with a huff while watching her rabbit lay her head down in front of her. Rabbits are strange animals, but not as weird as Alice's old cat, Dinah. Hearing this has invoked Alice's own maternal urges, wondering why on earth the monarchs plucked a little girl from her world.

Alice settles right down in front of her, not even bothering to fluff out her skirt and petticoat. How terrible this is, which is why she's letting Sophie bask in the attention she's receiving. ]

I am afraid I haven't.

[ Alice confesses to reach over to scratch between the rabbit's ears, the Outsider's mark very visible now. ]

But I've seen family members reunited here quite often. There is a large family here -- Miss Galadriel and her daughter, Miss Celebrian, alongside her cousins and their mother.

[Without Corvo here, she's not sure what to do or think. Not that she can't do and think on her own, but she isn't sure what to do or think about Corvo's absence. If he's not here, he must still be in Dunwall trying to find her for the second time, trying to make things right again. Does that mean he is safe? Is Dunwall safer than this place with the fairies, with the strange building full of things she's never seen?

Her eyes lift from idly staring at the rabbit, and she opens her mouth, then quickly and gently double-takes at the black brand on the back of Alice's hand. It's familiar in a strange way, and she tries to place where she has seen it before. Looking at it makes her think of the sea, of the slippery and tart smell of whale oil when it burns, of two coals sitting in the snow like eyes.

Corvo. Corvo had one, too.

She doesn't even hear whatever else Alice had said.] That... [She indicates Alice's hand.] The man I'm looking for has one like that, too.

[ While the rabbit seems content staying between the both of them, something about that makes her skin crawl, just a little. Taking the mark came with strange hallucinations that Alice was sure that they were her own. She knows the Outsider has mentioned a few more like her, who have received that mark.

Those who were more than just average, the ones who kept him entertained by him. It had all the hallmarks of 'Faust', in a sense. The Outsider was neither a good or evil presence, Alice knew this. She knows at the very least, if anyone else had the mark in Drabwurld, Alice would hear about it from the Outsider. ]

Does he.

[ How many were there that the Outsider took a liking to? Alice gives a little pat of the rabbit's head and pulls her hand back up to flex it. ]

Well. My friend that gave this to me he would have said something. As a matter of fact, I'm sure I wouldn't hear the end of it.

[ Alice frowns even deeper. ]

But that does not mean he wouldn't come here, too.

[Friend. Friend? Emily tries to think of all the people that know Corvo who she also knows as well, and she can't seem to place any that would have given such a mark away freely. Did Corvo get it in the Coldridge?

The Outsider doesn't even cross her mind because, so far, that is only an apparition fleetingly seen in dreams. Surely the man with black eyes couldn't have anything to do with Corvo, and surely nothing at all to do with this seemingly normal girl with a pet rabbit.] If you see him, will you tell him I'm here? Corvo, the man I'm looking for.

He's very quiet, but he is nice. He looks kind of scary because of his mask, but he is just hiding his face. He wouldn't hurt you.
