[The last couple of days have been exhausting for Schneewittchen. Despite not having long shifts right now, she's more focused on working hard. Not to the point of neglecting her health thank goodness, but it's almost as if she needed a distraction.
Yet, when she's on break, it seems as if nothing's really changed. She's still somewhat cold, but nice. However, she's always found doing something, whether it be reading, counting up her finances...just anything that's keeping her occupied.
Talking isn't out of the question either, so Schneewittchen takes the chance to head up to a certain room to find a familiar someone, and lightly knocks on the door.]
[For Alexis, she had been taking the past few days kind of hard. Ever since her meeting with Larix and Yotsuba, she wondered if she should go check up on them. The least she could do was owe them an apology for being so pushy when they didn't it.
But at the same time, that didn't stop them from being jerks! And especially Larix! All she wanted to do was help but no, he just had to be mean!
Now though? With her brother gone, she didn't know how to react. It just wasn't fair though. His brother managed to pay off his debt and yet, she didn't. So much for having the perfect summer here with Dipper.
Although, her thoughts were cut short since she heard a familiar voice!]
Yeah, I'm here. It's been awhile hasn't it, Schny? [Indeed it has since Alexis had seen better days]
[She wanted to think so. Heck, she used to. But, after what had happened?
Much as she tries to put on a neutral look, her eyes become cold. And when she speaks again, her tone is soft and calm, yet with an underlying hint of anger.]
That's what I thought. But, apparently I was a fool.
[Wait, did something happen between her and Larix too? As she stepped forward, Alexis's usual characteristics were back. Hand on her chin, narrowed eyes, pondering deeply about stuff that doesn't probably need deep pondering...!]
...Soooo what happened? I thought you were doing just fine! You ended the date really well so what's the problem?
[Have a very long pause on Alexis end as she kept narrowing her eyes on her. Hm, looks like the both of them had encountered the same problem didn't they?]
...You're telling me. All I ever wanted to do was to help him and his brothers out but nooo! He just had to tell me that I was being really really annoying! And...that just really hurt you know!
[Awww hell naw. Saying it to a kid was crossing the line, especially with someone like Alexis! It only makes Schneewittchen more furious, clenching her even tighter. Boy, if she ever sees him again, she's going to give him a piece of her mind!
But, then again, it wouldn't make things better, would it? Getting so worked up such an issue...
She heaves a sign as she slumps down.]
...what if it's the truth? Is that really his true self?
If he is, then I'm never talking to him ever again! After all I did for him, why would he even say that?!
[It hurt, it really did. After how much effort she and her brother went through to help him out of his date, he just thinks that she was a bother? Why would he even say that?
As she bit her lip, she was struggling not to cry. While it was hard to think she was just an annoyance to a friend, it hurt even more to be reminded of her brother too]
...All I wanted was for him and his brothers to stop fighting! That's not so bad, is it?
[As she felt her arms around her, Alexis suddenly found herself in tears. She wasn't sure why she felt that way but right now?
She didn't seem to care. When she gave a sniffle, all she could do was just let water escape out of her eyes]
I-It really wasn't. It's not fair, how can he say that to his brothers when they're here with him? Doesn't he know that one day they just might disappear and you might never ever see them again?!
[She keeps quiet for a while as she smooths out the back of Alexis's hair in an effort to calm her down. That last part, different as it sounded, it...kind of hit close. Way too close.]
...yeah.
[Schneewittchen's hug becomes a little tighter all of a sudden as she looks more somber.]
Parting with bad words before they're gone...it's awful. Hopefully he realizes what he's done before that ever happens.
[That was when Alexis noticed something off about her friend. As she continued the hug, she looked up at the taller girl with a worried look.
She might have an idea of what happened but she wanted to hear it out of her first]
I really hope so but...are you okay? Not that I don't like hugs but you sure are a little more snuggly than usual!
[Not that Schny wasn't someone who didn't hug but it was rather odd. She might not know her that well but she gets the feeling she wasn't one who hugs that way.]
Oh, sorry! Just- what you said reminded me of what happened back home.
[She pulls away from Alexis, giving her a bit of space while smiling sheepishly.]
Over there, I was part of a team, and while we had a rough start, we managed to pull together. But then, one of my teammates and I had a disagreement on views, and she ran away afterwards. We searched for her the next day, but-
[Her smile goes away, being immediately replaced with a melancholic frown.]
...I didn't to reconcile with her before I got sent here.
[It wasn't the real issue, though. While what happened with Blake was similar and still kind of stung, the true issue...she can't say right now.]
[In that moment, Alexis didn't know what to say back. It sure sounded a lot like what she went through back home. Although, she was lucky.
At least she got a chance to say something to her brother before he left. While he might have forgiven her, it was still difficult to her to forgive herself.
And especially to allow that stupid evil triangle get the better of her too!!
Still, for a moment, she didn't say anything. Instead, she hugged her friend even tighter than before]
I'm sorry. If they ever come here, then I really really hope that the both of you will get a chance to huge and make up! It sounds like you really deserve it!

Sometime around during the last week of April!
Yet, when she's on break, it seems as if nothing's really changed. She's still somewhat cold, but nice. However, she's always found doing something, whether it be reading, counting up her finances...just anything that's keeping her occupied.

Hello, is Alexis in here?
no subject
But at the same time, that didn't stop them from being jerks! And especially Larix! All she wanted to do was help but no, he just had to be mean!

Yeah, I'm here. It's been awhile hasn't it, Schny? [Indeed it has since Alexis had seen better days]
no subject
[Uh-oh. She was expecting the usual cheery and bright atmosphere, but that didn't sound anything like it this time, and that was a little worrying.
Excuse her for a moment as she lets herself in.]
How have you been?
no subject
I-I've been good. How about you? How did your date with Larix go?
[Do note how she said his name. It certainly sounded a bit...bitter]
no subject
It went okay. Amazingly, the night wasn't a disaster and he walked me home.
no subject
[If he was willing to be nice to her, then he can't be all that bad right? ...Right??]
no subject

That's what I thought. But, apparently I was a fool.
no subject
...Soooo what happened? I thought you were doing just fine! You ended the date really well so what's the problem?
no subject
[A different person? Or maybe, that really was his true self?
Her hands curl into fists. Ahhh, thinking about it again was all so frustrating!!]
The nerve of that guy, saying he doesn't care about anyone...if that's how he really felt, then we shouldn't have been friends in the first place!!
no subject
...You're telling me. All I ever wanted to do was to help him and his brothers out but nooo! He just had to tell me that I was being really really annoying! And...that just really hurt you know!

no subject
[Catching sight of Alexis's face, she reaches out to pull her into a gentle hug.]
Wanting space is fine too, but there's better ways to say it. And what he did wasn't right at all.
no subject
She didn't seem to care. When she gave a sniffle, all she could do was just let water escape out of her eyes]
