Alice hadn't even properly smiled in the last couple of days, let alone skip. She didn't even do that when she wasn't upset. It felt really weird, and she was probably doing it wrong, but she was going to continue, because today was THE day. The one where she got to see a Selina and actually talk to her instead of trying to say things through letters and have one of those sappy reunion things that were supposed to make people super happy.
Where was she, though? The fifth year glanced around impatiently as she SKIPPED along the street, scanning the hoard of people with her eyes until they spotted some flaming red hair in the distance. That was her, wasn't it? Alice began weaving through the crowd (read: shoving), trying to get to her quickly enough.
"SELINA."
Had Biter given her the right place? She wasn't sure now because Alice was no where to be seen. Maybe she was at a food place or some shop to buy things that would wreak havoc in the castle, which the thought made her beam with pride. Her Biter was the epitome of perfection. Literally. No one else could dissuade the eighteen year old of that fact. It was just known by her.
And then she saw someone bounding though the crowd rigorously. Though squinted eyes she made out brown hair and she could see extremely bright teeth. OH MERLIN, it was her Biter! Happy days, she was in the right spot. And in that moment she remembered just how much she had missed her these past two months. It was so bloody good to see her.
Throwing her head back with rippling laughter when Biter yelled her name, Selina yelled back,
"THAT'S ME!" See, look! She was all grown up and adult like now, but it was still her. Just with a job and responsibilities now. Yep.
