Grimnír opens his eyes. He stares blankly at the ceiling for several minutes as he tries to clear his mind. Turning his head from side to side, he finds himself lying on one of the hospital beds in Eientei. There are curtains drawn around him, so he can't see much else.

He takes a couple of minutes to feel for his limbs. He sighs in relief when he finds that they are all intact, though he still feels pretty exhausted from the ordeal. The last thing he remembers is plummeting down toward the ground after casting that dangerous spell a second time. Under normal circumstances, he should be dead from a fall at that height.

"..."

Grimnír blinks blankly. He can feel a presence. Someone else is nearby. Only after a few minutes of scanning the area does he realize that this person is right beside him. He still doesn't understand how he didn't notice her earlier.

Alice is sitting on a small chair beside his bed. She cushions her head with her folded arms as she sleeps peacefully. Shanghai sits lifelessly against one of her arms. She looks especially vulnerable (and cute) like this.

A glance at the other side tells him that his sack is lying beside his bed. He can probably leave without waking Alice if he is careful enough.

[ ] Gently nudge Alice awake.
[ ] Pull a prank on the sleeping dollmaker.
[ ] Continue watching her sleep.
[ ] Cover her with your blanket.
[ ] Leave the room silently.
