She was surprised at his sudden kiss, but welcomed it nonetheless. Then when he suggested they head somewhere with less lost she nodded in agreement.
Alice laughed heartily at his jab at choice of weapons. "That sounds good. Shall we then?"

When Nightfall picks up the cards, both Alice and he feel the deck suddenly shift, their stomach's turning like they are both seated on a rollercoaster ride as their bodies grow weightless lke they are deep underwater.
Pressure. It pushes down upon them both, physically and metally. It is the weight of a freehold turning. One game, one turn of the card, one roll of the dice.
Each card flashed before their eyes, each suit becoming a face of a Lost, one of their own.
The Queen of Hearts, full of life.
The King of Diamonds, hardened and stoic
The Jokers, two of a kind, each one laughing at its opposite.
An Ace, high and low, its Club multi-headed and seeing all.
A Spade, dark and foreboding, ready to bury.
Many more, flashing. One face, stretched out before them both, her Mask gone for once.
They both see her True face. The stars and the moon are absorbed by the dark of her soul. A Glimpse........it fades......
"Can I get you another drink?" The waitress asks them both politely, smiling without a care in the world.
