And it's a good thing Stephanie's taken the moment to completely burst the comfortable bubble Alisha's found herself in, even if it hasn't been quite comfortable, what with her feeling a little unbalanced with this information revelation. It would've continued on a stream of questions, ones that, perhaps, Alisha didn't quite deserve to hear, considering she's very much a stranger to her questionee.
When Stephanie glances up, Alisha does, seconds later. Her gaze doesn't shift back to Stephanie until a few beats after her question. "Yeah," she says, now looking back at her. "Didn't quite pick up an umbrella from that arrival place."
Then, Alisha remembers, with another pinch of her brows, that Stephanie had been doing something while Alisha, herself, had been on a completely different path. Is her coming to the cafe going to disturb something that Alisha isn't aware of, considering she's not a subscriber to the superhero newsletter? "You don't have any superhero things to do?"
i am a very innocent and sweet person with no ulterior motives, how dare you!
