[ She should be a professional at this, or at leas have a better time trying to coax them off of Adra. But she can't; they're young, they're interested in him. Certainly, had Alice been eleven or twelve years younger, she would find herself in the same position as these children. It almost even earns a laugh from Alice, watching them clamor over his hair. She seems a little more jovial as time goes on and does little to prevent children from clinging to her, despite her dislike of touch.

Poor Adra, however, the tone of his voice -- her heart does go out to him. She's all too acquainted with loneliness. ]

What's so fascinating about his hair? That's enough, you're going to tangle his hair.

[ It's a legitimate question and children can be confusing. Though, Alice has an idea and poor Adra maybe subjected to her whims.

Maybe it will get them to finally leave his ears alone? ]

I have an idea! If you're all so inclined to fiddle with Mr. Adra's hair, how about we add something in it, yes?

[ A few of them snap their attention to Alice, there is that. Alice is thankfully animated enough to get them riled enough to follow her, as she stands back up, a few clingers included. ]

I can show you how to make daisy chains! Then you'll be able to put it in his hair. Shall we do that?

[ What are daisy chains, some of them ask and Alice already starts to move, allowing a few to take her hand and pull on her dress, as they continue to ask. ]

I'll show you. Come now, let's go find some flowers, shall we? Quick! Before he gets away.

[ Alice and a few children scamper off and the sudden motion of Alice moving along is enough to garnish the attention of a few others, following after her. A few minutes later, Alice and the children that followed her are back with flowers. ]
