[ It doesn't matter if it's a small cut or not, it's the gesture more than anything else at this rate. Alice keeps a firm but gentle hand over it to stop the bleeding from progressing. There are plenty of questions in her head, most of all"what are you?" is the top of that list. It should take a few moments, she hopes, if he's healthy enough from bleeding profusely from a small cut.
"And I would do it again in a heartbeat, if it meant proving that your eyes are trustworthy. That you can have faith in yourself."
Alice, on the other hand, bites her lip and keeps her thoughts to herself. She disagrees, of course, and still will insist that she's well beyond a cure to alleviate her from her visions. Just as well, Alice felt the same way, she would risk being hurt to protect another, especially a friend. It may not do anything to soothe whatever worries or fears he has, but it's the thought that counts to Alice, who finds herself quietly holding his hand in hers. Another person is telling her to have faith in herself. ]
I'm certain if I tell you anymore, you'll think of me mad. But-
[ Two times through Wonderland and the looking glass and Alice was able to trudge through her worst hallucinations. Those times, she never lost, not even when things seemed like it was impossible to escape. Yet, it may never be completely gone, for Alice. All she ever wanted was to be normal and a full-functioning adult. ]
There have been worse things, I suppose it may take longer to work through. [ Telling him not to worry seemed like it wouldn't work whatsoever -- if anything, Sion wold have worried over her, regardless. Exhausted, Alice heaves a sigh, gently pulling her hand away with her handkerchief. ]
You can have it, as a reminder you shouldn't do that again, You Majesty. For now, I'm still going to try and enjoy the company of my friend, no matter what color his blood is and no matter what he thinks of me or himself. Maybe I'll sleep better when I do that way.
[ She sways, just a little, turning back to throw up the hood of her cloak and nestles herself back in her blue bundle, stubborn as ever. Alice regains her bravado in her voice, canting her head to the side as she shrugs. Even then, it's tempting for her just to rest her eyes at that moment, if only to drive out whatever has been crawling into her vision. ]
I'll be in just as much gratitude as you, for not turning away from me.
