[Ishu]

December 5th, Chicago. Sewer #17.

Alice nodded, telling him she was comfortable, and lay her hands over his until he moved them to push on the wheels. He started to push them out of the room and down the hall and she noticed his grip getting a bit tight. With a hand laying over his, she urged him to give her some room to breathe. When she was able to adjust her hand, she took in a noticeable breath and exhaled.

Finally, with the help of a nurse, they were able to get to the room. Inside, where they soon began to enter, Amante was laying on the bed. He was grumpy and didn't really want to see anyone, especially not that Ryan jerk- until a familiar smell reached his nostrils. He turned up to look at them, seemingly better already and lay on his back. He glanced to the side and saw Elek, motioning him in, "C'mon, I'm starving." Amante sat up in the bed and took the tray when Elek gave it to him.

Sitting up, one leg bent so his foot pressed into his other thigh, and his other leg dangled off the side of the bed. He didn't seem to have any interest for utensils and yet his hands hardly became dirtied with food. He licked off the excess food from his fingers as he spoke to them, or just Alice, "You came to see me, eh?" He couldn't help but let a skewed grin stretch on his face. "That's nice..." he took another bite of the food and continued, "How're you feeling? Better?"

Alice gave a nod, smiling to know he was ok. She looked to Ryan and gently pet her hand over his, the one holding her around the waist. It was her little way of showing affection as well as an attempt to keep him calm. Something about these two always raised the others blood pressure. It was a constant cycle of dislike and she could sense it.

Amante didn't react to this well though it was mostly his face tensing and his chewing becoming more... intent. He swallowed his food and leaned back, crossing his legs at the ankles. His body was up for show; rippling muscles curving and diveting in places where normal humans had to spend their whole lives to get. He wasn't particularly bulky but he was certainly well built. None of it really seemed to phase Alice but, honestly, he was mostly showing it off to intimidate Ryan. "Well, as you can see, I'm fine." Squirm, filth, squirm!
