Alvira watched as Pen observed her a bit, sizing her up maybe? Or just wondering why the hell she was even socializing with a normie. She didn't exactly know.
"It's this heat," Pen said in a snappy tone, which made Alvira's eyebrows momentarily go down in a slight glare that quickly vanished once Pen changed to a softer tone. Perhaps she didn't mean to snap out. Alvira couldn't blame her, she's probably used to picking fights. "Me and hot weather do not get along. Especially in a bus or some stupid lab. I'd prefer to be outside - I'm more of the outdoorsy type."
Alvira tilted her head in confusion,
"You don't do well in heat, yet you go outside all the time. Odd combination, but I can't blame you. I don't do well with heat either, me and the sun don't get along really. It burns me and if I get too hot I pass out. Just because I hate being tan isn't the only reason why I keep myself pale. If I were to try to tan I'd most likely have a heat-stroke."
Alvira mentally smacked herself, there we go, explaining stuff for no reason again. Ugh, she always did that when talking to someone for the first time. She growled in frustration when Whitney suddenly decided to talk, sure it was a miracle that he spoke, but it just pissed her off when it was something that he was whining about. She heard enough whining on a daily basis from normies, and just because he was stuck here with the group didn't mean he needed to bitch.
"No one seemed to have a problem with anyone up until you spoke. We're all irritated but we can make the decision whether or not we'd like to speak for ourselves. No one died and made you king. "
Ok, now that was funny. Alvira snickered and glanced over at Terry.
"Oh hey you DO speak! Its a miracle!"
Alvira said jokingly and laughed a bit.
"It seems no one here appreciates my way of saying don't talk to me. I couldn't care less if you talked to one another, just don't bother me." Whitney said and Alvira looked over at him with a half-angry facial expression, but that quickly changed to an amused grin when she saw him begin to wiggle around until a worm fell out of his jacket. Again, Alvira snickered.
"I can't say I have a witty response to that. Congratulations, you all win, now can I be left alone?"
Alvira glared,
"Look dude. We're all trying to lighten up the frikkin mood, just because you hate the damn world doesn't mean you need to try to make this trip more hellish than it already is. YOU'RE the one who whined, so naturally people are going to respond. You speak, people answer. Get it?"
She said through her gritted teeth. Her mood was swinging quite fast today, so anything could make her go off like a ticking time bomb. Alvira watched as Jesse approched Pen. What the hell was rich-boy doing?
"Penelope, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems as though you're as anxious to get through this as myself. Now, I know it must seem strange that I am speaking to you, as we are from different worlds, but riddle me this: Does your school always participate in lame field trips like this one? From the looks of the building," Jesse's hazel eyes glanced around, "this could easily be mistaken for a prison."
"That's Pen, to you," Pen responded through gritted teeth, her hands curling into fists. Alvira looked at her with a sly grin on her face,
"Chill a little Pen, rich-boy's just scaaared is all."
She snickered again.
"I know this might sound super childish and stuff, but why don't we break away from the main group and go looking around this rock research place! You never know, we could totally find some cool stuff! Whaddaya say, guys?"
Dave said and Alvira arched an eyebrow and glanced at him. She agreed with that at least.
"Brave Dave's got a point," Pen declared, "So everyone's who's game - follow me!" she announced, and hopped onto the first step of a stairway, turned to the group and grinned at them all "And if you're not game, you still might as well follow. You're gonna get in trouble anyway for splitting up from your group!"
Alvira shrugged,
"Seems legit."
Alvira said grinning as Pen flashed an excited smile at her and Jesse, and then quickly darted up the flight of stairs.
"Things just got interesting!"
Alvira said and ran up the stairs after Pen. Laughing to herself.
