I need a broom.

[ Some crunching can be heard. It's late, there's not going to be much of an explanation here, other than Alice's hands look very bad, in bruises and cuts. She continues on like it's nothing. She looks up to the imp and frowns. ]

Or a dustpan. I know this is a pain without a lantern, I'm sorry. Use a handkerchief so you don't cut yourself, alright?

[ Sometimes she feels bad for this imp. Alice goes up to cleaning broken shards of glass, ever so carefully, using a basket as means to pick up pieces. With a huff, more to herself- ]

This is the last time I ever-

[ She stops, of course, to notice the locket is open and shoots a look up to the imp. ]

Don't even think about it. I'm not in the mood for this, it was an accident.

[ With a mutter, Alice's hand goes over it and the locket is promptly clamped shut. Should anyone ask, she'll shift it to voice after getting the rest of the mirror cleaned up. ]

Like both of your parents hm? [ Maglor tips his head at her fondly ] There is much wisdom and kindness in you also, I deem.

No, not as much, I am not nearly as level-headed as they are.

Perhaps, and perhaps not - I cannot say, without having met them, after all.

... You remind me a little of him, actually. My father.

He had the same mannerisms and he carried himself in a similar way.

[ Maglor goes absolutely stone still at that, paling, he barely seems to breathe, and his eyes are very bright ]

Oh Alice. [ He manages and his voice is broken ] You flatter me higher than you know. But I am no father, child. Do not compare your father to one so base as I.

[ A little of her father. She remembered how polite he was and so very wise. A good man and just as gentle. She doesn't say anything to that reaction, she simply pulls back to a memory of being on her father's lap and him reading stories to her. ]

You really are stubborn, aren't you. If I tell you you shouldn't be so hard on yourself, you'll insist otherwise. Well-

Well maybe not. It's merely an observation.

I ... have been called that. Yes. You are far too kind, little butterfly.
