sunshowerdandelionToday I wrote, while extremely sleepy, a scene involving Reisen and Alice.Alice in this is more standoffish - not because she is inherently (she'll soften in the next scenes), but because she's just gotten in a spat with Marisa, and views Reisen as another thing to be managed in her head. When Reisen impresses that she doesn't need Alice's services - and Alice does think of her hospitality and kindness as services, at least when she's feeling burdened - then I think she'll soften. Alice is very used to dealing with Marisa and anticipating her needs.
Reisen, for her part, is careful about Alice. She does not want to start off on the wrong foot with anyone, and she does very much want friends. I think Reisen is the sort of person who, in an unfamiliar situation, befriends the first other person who shows her the least kindness and hovers around them until she can read the rest of the room better. She doesn't do this very consciously, but when Marisa is clearly not available, I think Reisen will glom onto Alice for the duration of the party.
Also I have a reading-club meeting tomorrow! Excited but also apprehensive since there are quite a few religious types mixed in. I hope I can get along.
