Historically, Sloane's hair changing to such a sad shade of purple would've been enough to alert Alice to stop and check in. Or, at the very least, enough to make Alice soften in her frustration and rethink the issue. However, the issues had nothing to do with Sloane and it wasn't fair to expect Alice to be entirely trusting of the seeker. (It had, in fact, taken the better part of three months for Sloane to approach her at all, after all.)

"I know." She did, too. Mostly, anyway. Alice didn't believe her value remained the same in relation to Cameron, but that was the thing wasn't it? Everyone would side with Cameron and she'd have to figure out a new group for friends, even if Cameron was technically in the wrong. "We'll figure it out eventually." Alice said diplomatically. "I'm going to go study." And, without waiting for any further response from Sloane, Alice ducked out through the common room and into the main castle.
