[ What a surprising expression, though it fades quickly... It's pleasant to receive such a warm welcome, but somehow unexpected, still, and in the wake of both that and the initial announcement, it takes Alice several moments to collect himself and cease his standing there, the only one of them not seated yet, despite the prompting. Finally, with as quiet a scrape across the floor as possible, he adjusts the vacated chair's placement to lower himself into it, leaving enough room for his legs.
He has taken a seat! And his voice feels steadier... All the same, he has to clear his throat, taken aback by Helena's apology. It's not unfamiliar — she's apologized for the same thing once before. ]
So the two of you have already covered all of it? Well... I suppose quite a few things have happened lately...
[ Which includes Helena's sudden disappearance, followed by Chiaki Nanami's, and now Helena back more or less safe and sound, as well as Rantarou Amami's return. Only Komaeda's condition remains unchanged.
Honestly, he absolutely has burning questions to ask, but he won't pressure Helena to repeat herself. Perhaps Shin Tsukimi would be willing to answer them later, he reasons. ]
At any rate, I doubt that you intend to make going missing a habit, Helena.
No, of course not. This was hardly something planned.
[her tone is gentle, though - she's not actually scolding or anything, and she's happy to be back and awake. that said, she is waiting for if he has questions, though she's not entirely sure if she'll give him the whole story again like she did to Shin. there's enough he can fill in privately.
there's also more than enough room for Shin to sit on the bed - perks of being short, though she can't move her legs over to give him the whole space. though if he really felt like it, he could sprawl easily.]
I'm still surprised at how much time passed...though I did spend most of it asleep. But we surely can't have covered everything - what happened to you, in the time between?
