Alex sighed in relief at Naisha before standing up as Urick did before looking around. She jogged about the beach, her feet splashing against the water before she found a familiar handle. In which case she yanked it out and held up the hover chair. Shaking it a little to rid of the sand, she set it down and started to roll it as she walked beside Urick as he started walking. Her lips clenching together as her blue eyed stared ahead. She knew she snapped and she went overboard. It's not like Urick understood. He'd never understand. No one would. That wasn't their fault though. She always had difficulty apologizing. It was hard. Even though it seemed she should do it often. [color=red]"Sorry... For snapping at you like that. Thanks for not letting me get crushed. I'm just... Mad. Or bitter. You're the first one crossing the border. And you weren't there when I needed you. It's not your fault, so sorry. You and Gippal are just... Really important to me. I have to thank Nai she was still around. I just wish... Eh forget."[/color] Alex said, her words fading as they went on, as if she didn't want to say them. She kept them cryptic, not really wanting her two friends to understand them. They'd just worry. The red head had several reasons for snapping like that, though perhaps not good ones. She always had to be independent, had to protect herself, survive herself, so being protected now was a smack to her self esteem. Someone like her couldn't afford to need to be protected, especially by her friends. She knew. She would be dependent. She already was. There was the fact Urick seemed only able to talk to her when it was in a fight, and it wasn't usually friendly and it was so... Not Urick like. Yet he was fine with talking to Saina, and he couldn't talk to her when she wanted well needed information. Just pissed her off. It made her think he only thought her... As worthless. Then the other was the reason she gave. Although cryptic. She wondered, what would of happened if Naisha was nearby either? Perhaps, she really would have never seen her friends again. She couldn't help but wonder if they would ask about her. Deciding not to dwell on the topic, Alex looked to Naisha and smiled. [color=red]"Hey beautiful Nai-Magester! How bout I get you some nice Hot Cocoa when we get to Kilka? I think we hella deserve it! And tell me I'm awesome for getting you magic floaty chair!"[/color] she joked with a smirk and cheerful expression, taking a 180 in order to switch moods and be cheerful or her friend.
