>Flandre is currently browsing through a display of accessories. Alice is simply standing near the door, watching the scene and probably you in particular. You don't imagine she could normally read what you are doing, but who knows? She is different than the Alice you know. None of the other people here are in that position.

We could leave her a material which is necessary for us to return home. Something like the rainbow dust or the pearl are simply irreplaceable.

I was thinking of offering up the bell first, since it's a reasonable value and sentimental item that we'll definitely want back, but I suppose one of those would probably work better, as loathe as I am to part with them for any length of time.
