No party like an pope party??

[That... that was a thing for everyone. There should be no celebration for Lif but, well, even if Rhea has a very cynical view of such things it's probably for the best that everyone stays together. Her first stop is the cafeteria, after all nothing better to keep people in one spot than free food. There she bumps into Mira, leaving the snacks to her Rhea ends up writing notes to everyone to come to the cafeteria in a few hours.

Some she hands personally and if she can't find someone she slid it under their door. Rin's she slides into her room regardless.

Fortunately, you won't hear a sermon.]

Exactly. [Alice pats Mira on the hand, softly so as to mask that her hands are ice cold.]

We have to make a concrete plan. I'm sure with all these smart people in one place, we can do that.

[philoxenia]

[ She nods, trying for a smile. It-- it's a little flat, but god is she trying. ]

Well... I won't be any help there. But-- I am good at following leads, so... Surely it'll work out.

[precognit]

You never know. The best plans usually come from unexpected places. And you seem smart, Mira.

[philoxenia]

[ She's a little caught off-guard by that, but... ]

Well... I-I'm just trying my best, honestly. If I do something to help, then... I'm glad for it.

[precognit]

[Alice hums softly in agreement, and lets it sit for a moment. Sips her wine even though she'll just have to just cough it back up later.]

Well, let me know if you ever want to...I don't know, have a book club or something.

[philoxenia]

[ Oh, Alice, bless you. Despite how tired she is, despite how much her heart aches, her face lights up the tiniest bit. ]

Really? You'd want to?

[precognit]

[Seeing that tiny bit of improvement in Mira's expression has Alice smiling genuinely.]

Of course! We can take turns reading the same book and then talk about it afterward.
