“Aha… well… you’re telling me!” Madison attempts to muster a her usual bright, cheery smile. It failed, and it looked more like someone went over to her and forced her to smile using their hands.
“Well,” Madison attempts to wipe the tears out of her eyes and tries to keep her voice level and calm, “my name is Madison! Um… it’s pretty bad that I had to meet you here, in all places. B-But still! Good to meet you.”
She forces a giggle. She wasn’t sure that it was convincing, however.
“ Mm-hm... ” Alice nodded, voice quiet, trying to look at the girl with a smile of her own. Hers wasn’t very convincing either. Normally she’d be the slightest bit peppier about meeting someone new... But these circumstances were not the best to be meeting people in.
They were trapped together, but she still felt isolated. At least this girl, Madison, seemed nice. Alice liked her. She would like it more if they weren’t here.
Sorrow crossed her expression, kind of wanting to cry too. Still, just as Madison feigned happiness, so did Alice as she grimaced grinned. “ I’m Alice. I do wish we could have met, well, somewhere else, but... ” And she trailed off, continuing with something different. “ So... Who’s that? ” She asked, pointing at the still unconscious red-sweatered boy stuck with them.
