“Oh… Sorry…” Alice murmured with a smile. She hated coming across as rude, and she was pretty sure that the woman must have thought she was rude. It was really out of character for Alice to be honest. She was usually really on point. But she had just been so distracted lately. She knew she needed some proper time off work. Maybe she’d go to Moody tomorrow and book a week off. “These alleys can be pretty confusing….” The woman murmured, with a little laugh. She’d been coming here ages so that she knew where everything was. She’d also done some undercover work here, so Alice was pretty used to coming around here.
She smiled at the woman though. “Oh… I’m fine” She murmured with a smile. “Just distracted is all….”

“I am not accustomed to these surroundings,” she said. “This is the first time I've been in England. And the first time I walk down the alleys.” While it was certainly an interesting experience that aroused her curiosity, she nevertheless felt overwhelmed by all the crosses and turns and the behaviour of those around her. Quite different from what she was accustomed to. “I suppose you would be able to help me then?” Amal asked. “To find my way around here? If you're not too busy, of course.” The other woman didn't have to help, Amal realized that. After all, she was just another stranger.
