Crane sees her ; she's not in any good shape. Blood. Tears. A broken bone, probably. But he's not too concerned. Lips do not turn down, eyebrows do not knit. It's the most blank expression one could muster. He didn't CARE for Alice----and he didn't exactly know what to make of her to him in any other way. "What happened to you?" Crane asks, tone ghastly with a twinge of horror, as if he seems to ENJOY what he sees a bit too much.
Out of everyone in this damn city, he was the last he wanted to see. Not because he’d done anything to her. Not yet, at least. She had a bad feeling about this one. Something in the way his fingers connected to the rest of his hand. Something that reminded her of something else. She could pretend and get by with something in her system, but sobriety was hell on her imagination.
“My dealer got a little upset,” she mumbles. It was almost like he was getting off on this. Freak. Her voice is even and low because she wills it to be; in front of anyone else she’d allow herself to sob a little longer, but him… No, no no because she would trust a stranger more than this one. She sniffles, makes a half-hearted attempt to wipe the tears away, but only manages to smudge the streaks from a little too much makeup further. She doesn’t want his help. Not with that look in his eye. But her leg felt useless and her phone was confiscated during the little scuffle.
