- ❦xxThe Weapon couldn't help rolling her eyes. "I didn't ask if you could survive. I asked if you wanted to." With a sigh, the Weapon worked herself up off the couch. While Lucy went to her room to change, Alice went to her own. She changed out of her pants which had been washed at the hospital but were wholly ruined by blood stains. Irritated that she was ruining so many pairs of pants, she tossed the pair into the trash can in the corner of the room before digging out something more comfortable. She emerged from her bedroom wearing a rather oversized pair of sweatpants and her favorite gray t-shirt, the sleeves rolled up at her elbows.
Both of them ready, they exited the apartment and stepped into the bright sun. She took her Meister's uninjured hand in her's, weaving their fingers together, before beginning the journey to the store. "Need some spices, bacon, onion, cabbage, tomato paste, and scallions." Her family had sent her the most important things for the recipe, things that would be harder to acquire in Death City than back home. However, having recently moved, they were lacking in groceries. Things that they could have had on hand had they been more settled were yet to be established. Which meant that instead of running to the store for one or two things, she had a small list. Just enough to get through tonight. She had no desire to make a huge grocery trip to stock their apartment yet.
Unfortunately, things for Alice were still slow going. She still had to limp to avoid straining her recovering leg which felt brutally stiff since she had torn the stitches last night. The market was, however, rather nearby and didn't take too long to get to. She insisted on carrying the basket with her free hand so that she could continue to hold Lucy's hand. She hobbled around the market, picking up her various items and placing them into the basket. She tried to make the trip as quick as possible, eager to get back home and get off her leg. In spite of the burst of energy she had gained, she was tiring quickly enough. By the time she had finished paying for the groceries, she thought herself quite ready to lie down for a while.
Once finished, she insisted on carrying the couple of bags so that they could continue holding hands, refusing to budge on the matter. She moved as quickly as she could to get back to the apartment--which wasn't very. She wanted to get home and put the groceries away and lay around for a couple hours before she would have to start cooking. Of course they managed to talk while they went, Alice's mind abuzz with all the recent events. She was happy to retreat back within the apartment and put away the groceries. She gratefully dropped herself back down on the couch, letting out a strained breath as she let the weight off her leg. She couldn't help but laugh. "I hope we can avoid getting our asses kicked on our next mission." They had gone on two missions and had received injuries on both of them. The second mission had been even worse, both of them hospitalized by the end of the night. She looked forward to the mission in which she could not end up ruining another pair of pants with blood.
