The widow gave a subtle nod to the expression of gratitude. Now that Jessie had sat next to her, she noticed the shorts still seemed a bit tight on the girl and....a little revealing. Ah, that couldn't really be helped.
A question was asked next that thankfully shifted the snowy spider's attention. It was one of one she was younger -- her past in the house. Despite already knowing the answer, Alice thought for a moment. She wasn't really one to reveal much information about herself even when asked. Although, this was her home after all, so such a question couldn't really be avoided. Shifting again, her frozen gaze finally drifted back to the boyish girl.
"It was never really quiet, I guess." She began monotonously. "There was always some gathering going on with fealthy-- ah, wealthy families, or waltzs or balls. It was difficult to get a moment of peace. Though I often spent most of my time up here in this room when that or various lessons weren't transpiring or requesting my presence."
The last few words fell out a bit quietly. Even still, the snowy spider wasn't quite used to speaking this much. Her answer had been kept vague but truthful. She didn't have much time to herself when she was little. Piano, violin, ballet, and ballroom dance lessons took up most remaining time if her family hadn't had a ball or gathering for a while. Then Kutsumari, her rival, was introduced when things finally leveled off and that only augmented a new layer of stress. Eventually she had taken to locking herself in her room to isolate herself if not hiding out somewhere outside on the large estate with the maids scurrying to find their young mistress.
Letting a breath fall quietly out, the widow readied to ask the same, about her partner when she was younger though... Was that even a good thing? With what she had already heard of Jessie's father and...murdered mother.... Maybe that would be too painful to answer... She conversationally decided to echo the question, but kept with a soft, cautious approach.
"Might I ask what life was like for you when you were younger? Although you are not obligated to answer if you do not wish to."

Jessie listened carefully to the girl before her. The answer was slightly vague though Jessie had grown use to this from the snowy spirit. So Alice liked to be alone, though Jessie didn't completely understand what lead to Alice wanting that. Though once Jessie thought of it more , Alice seemed to a lot of lessens and from Alice talents were probably all very hard work.
" You must have been quite stressed as a child"
This seemed like the best response for now. She wanted to ask more but it seemed the answer had widened the snowy spirit beside her. Next came what she expected, a mirrored question. Although it came with a question of permission. " That's fine to ask, ah but were to start."
Sliding up onto the bed she let her self bend one knee to hold it. Closing her eyes she thought for a moment then finally spoke. " when I was born, it was snowing, funny enough. My father and mother loved me. I had a great start to my life, my mother and dad were those types of people that said it didn't matter how young I was I was going to experience life.. I have pictures from the zoo and beach and amusement parks , I have picture s and videos of my mother teaching me how to dance and me in classes. My dad was even in a few...he would carry me on his shoulders and if I remember right I was his little strawberry. "
A slight smile came to her face as she thought of this bit soon raided." I was going to have a little brother , my dad would say...and they tried...but because of me..my mother had some complications, turns out she could no longer have children. Yet they still tried. My father got more angry, he really wanted a son to take over for the family once he was gone. One night...he got far more angry...took my mother in their room, I was sitting next to their door, waiting for my mom because it was bath night.... That was the last day I saw my mother . After that father took away all my girly things taught me sports and other boyish things at first he still loved me .. Until the anniversary of my mothers death . Then the lessons became more.. And I tried to make him happy but nothing worked... I began to eat alone so that I didn't disappoint him but I also didn't have the chance to do so, I began to do more and more to be alone...then my base ball teacher saw my bruises...je called the cops, they took my father away and I came here ... All alone .. Hehe but now I have a friend like you"
Smiling at Alice she looked at her. " ah sorry that took longer then I meant ah I have one last question, how old are you? "
Though all this talking they never really new one another's age, that was important if Jessie was to like this girl beside her.

"I suppose." She offered with a signerature flick of an ivory hand.
Their converstion positions had shifted, and Alice next found herself in the seat of the listener. Monotonous frozen features melted slightly as Jessie weaved her answer. It all sounded happy at first. A loving family; an easygoing, adventurous start to life. No darkness. Only the natural innocence of a child and both mother and father's warm love and wish for their young daughter to live life with plentiful experiences and memories. It was sweet. Though life did have ways of turning the sweetest of things sour and bitter.
So that was why...? Jessie's father had desired a successor -- a son -- to carry on his legacy. Being an aristocratic family, Alice's were no different with that desire, but since they had only settled on having one child, they went with Alice, having sent her off to business school at an early age to learn the field in depth like her own father in hopes to carry on the Himeno line's business. Though Jessie's tale held a solid darkness. Her father had killed her mother. Even without that being said straight out... Alice assumed so. That had had to be it. And then the boyish girl had had to suffer alone. Not as a girl but...as a forced boy.
As for being friends, were they friends? Alice had never used the label before -- she'd never got that close ne allowed anyone that close before to even have it qualify as an appropriate label -- yet Jessie here... For some reason, she felt like the label was valid with their current relationship. A friend, hm? The thought slightly frustrated her yet felt a bit refreshing at the same time. Yet another fracture in her ice, the snowy spider supposed. She hadn't been watching her guard quite as much with Jessie today...
Then came a smile and another question. It almost surprised Alice, for her snow thick mind was still processing through all the information that had just been revealed to her. Quite a quick switch of topics. Of moods, as well. She had to let out a breath before answering.
"That's...horrific. And It's quite alright. As for age, (going off of the age for second year in school from the site application) I am of the age of thirteen."
The widow was silent for a moment, before softening her emotionless tone to once again address the previous information given with genuine sympathy. "Though I am truly sorry you had to go through all that."

She hadn't meant to change subjects so very quickly but secretly she guessed her subconscious had. So Alice was 13 a bit of a surprize for sure, the older boyish girl thought that the window was much older. Alice said a few words of concern and sympathy. " It is alright, really... I think today has really helped me with a bit of long needed closer."
Then the thought of there age came to mind. " though there is one thing you can do to make me feel better...Alice - Chan"
A playful grin came to the pink haired tomboy as she lengthened the Chan at the end of Alices name. Yet another playful idea came to to Jessie head, for some reason,the game they played did always come to mind at the best moments. She took a moment to gather courage and quietly and quickly moved sitting on the slightly smaller girl, knees either side of the girl she smiled. " I'll get off once you call me Jessie sama "
Her tone kept light playful and she did watch the white hair girl carefully. She had made her sitting position easy to get up from, so that if Alice was indeed uncomfortable to no end Jessie could quickly undo her playful action.

Alice nodded at Jessie's words. It was good that today seemed to have helped the girl.
But then came something that riled the snowy spider. An elongated -chan at the end of her name. Icy eyes narrowed a little to impale the girl with her frosted gaze. A pallid brow even twitched in playful irritation. So Jessie was older? She had kind of assumed so, though that didn't really bother her. Emotionless in expression, the widow watched as the boyish girl shifted to position herself to sit atop her. Now this was an interesting predicament.
A smirk flittered across pale lips. Jessie-sama? Was that what had been asked of her? To call her that? Ah, that was childish! No way she'd do that. Besides, the contact did tense the widow a little. But... It had slipped her into a playful mood. That's it. She could use this.
"Jeez." Rolled out quietly. Freezing, lily-white hands gradually ascended to rest on either side of the other's face. Hoping to make Jessie flustered, she teasingly brought her own ivory face closer, pale lips just inches away from the warmer ones. "Jes~sie - sa~ma."
The requested name and honorific slipped out in teasing syllables, each one softer than the last. There was an obvious playful edge to it, but also an underlying flirtatious one as was such her nature. She hadn't wanted to say it -- really, she wouldn't have -- though with the bout of playfulness plaguing her, could it really be helped?

Watching the girl before her twitch she just about got up. Yet then her name was spoken as requested, not only that but iced hands lay on her cheeks and there faces were close. Jessie blinked as she watched how Alice moved and spoke playfully. Yes she was far better at the game.
Jessie hadn't meant for the following action to happen. Red faced as usual legs shifted in the make shift seat of Alices lap. Something rose in her unlike before. So embarrassing, Jessie got just what she wanted yet now ...she wanted more then would be allowed. " S-sweet , now that you have you don't ever have to again... I..i was just playing around."
This was all very true but the real reason is that her heart and feeling couldn't take the sound of Alices voice like that again.

Now there was a familiar reaction. A satisfying one as well. The ghost of a smirk broadened ever so slightly at the blush that had dominated the boyish girl's face. And that stutter, as well. Checkmate. She'd won this round. Though should she leave it there? Perhaps. The snowy spider wasn't quite sure how much more the other girl could take in her flustered state.
"Alright then." She chuckled softly.
Letting her icy hands fall from Jessie's warm face, she swept a few cold, teasing fingers ever so slightly across one side of her neck before assuming her usual pose the best she could in this position. What would Jessie do next? Perhaps this little round of the game was over? The girl did feel a little heavy on her lap, but she didn't quite feel it nor quite minded at the moment. Amused, was the widow.
"I was just playing as well." Was added with a calmer, yet still playful tone.

Clearly the snowy girl was amused. She really could get Jessie flustered. Jessie wanted to play back, ah that's right she also needed to get her back for that little pinch earlier. feeling fingers glide across her neck she shivered, legs shifted again. Yet what do you do to a girl that liked control and disliked touch? Thinking for a moment she leaned forward, letting her lips land on the frosted neck she nipped ever so lightly , letting her lips reach Alices ear she spoke " What? would you rather me call you Alice- Sa-ma? "
Sitting back up she finally forced herself to get off the slightly smaller girl sitting back on the bed next to the snowy spirit she let her body flop down onto the feathered blankets. " Can i sleep over here with you , i don't think id want to sleep alone knowing your so close."
That came out more intimate than she had planned but it was true just friends or not she would have been very lonely tonight. As she laid on her back she closed her eyes for a moment though letting one eye open and shift to the white haired girl. What she had just done must have been the bravest thing ever, for a very long time.

A shiver was provoked. Yet another satisfying, familiar action. Though what came next Alice hadn't been quite prepared for. Warm lips pressed aganist the side of her cold neck and a nip was delivered. A bold move for a girl who had been a blushing mess just a moment ago. But not unpleasant. Soon a phrase was spoken into her ear, receiving a soft sound of amusement. Jessie could be quite daring when she wanted to. Ah, it only made her want to tease her more. "That would be slightly more befitting."
Finally the boyish girl removed herself to relocate back next to the widow. An inquisition was next projected. Jessie had asked to sleep in the spider's room with the arachnid herself. Though in an interesting, arguably intimate way. Either way, it reawakened the snowy spider's fading smirk.
"Lonely?" She teased. Giving a single chuckle, she continued, "You may if you wish, though it is a bit cold in here."
The spider always kept her room set to a cold temperature unlike any other room in the mansion. The heat never really settled well with her when she slept. Sometimes it even made her feel slightly ill to her stomach. Though Jessie's warmth, of course, was an exception to the ice-clad Alice.

So she had managed a slight reaction for the spider, though not much it was a slight win in the pink haired girl's mind. now laying down looking at the girl teasingly by one eye she heard the frosted voice speak a few replies to her. So Alice thought it fitting if the phrases of chan and Sama were turned, somehow that wasn't surprising " You wish i would."
Shed leave it at that, though she didn't mind using such respectful endings to one's name, in her american nature it would soon be forgotten to be said. That or Jessie would become to lazy, she was rather terrible at being formal. Scooting her legs to a bend she listened to the rest of what Alice said. So, she had permission to sleep over, though a warning was given about the coldness . " As long as you allow me to to cuddle with anything my body might touch then i don't think it should be an issue"
Though she meant the bedding or pillow or blankets somehow secretly she meant the frosty spirit beside her as well. Jessie own words caused a slight blush. Though at this moment, feeling a bit more of the girl, somehow with alice she didn't feel like she needed to correct herself or her behavior. neither did she fear her father finding out. Really ever since meeting Alice that fear seemed more of a silly paranoid feeling then something to really worry about.

Alice gave a simple wave of a hand to the first thing Jessie had said, the smirk still present on her lips. It was unusual for her to address another without honorifics at all, but sometimes she didn't mind just not using them in the first place. As for the part about concerning cuddling, the wintry widow offered another soft, amused sound. "Alright."
Alice suddenly remembered the time of her sleep over at Jessie's dorm. At the position she'd waken up in; of how she had unconsciously curled up close with the warm girl. Would that occur again tonight? Ah, she hoped not. But at the same time, it couldn't really be helped. Maybe this would be one of the common nights that didn't happen. Though, yet again, maybe it wouldn't be. Ah well. Whatever would end up happening wasn't really in the spiddr's control in the end. Though Jessie had said anything her body might touch.
Shifting her frosted gaze to the girl, pale lips parted to speak again: "Do you wish to stay awake and converse a little more, or do you wish to sleep right now?"
Either were actually fine with the snowy spider. She smoothed out a lock of moonlight hair with icy fingers as she waited for an answer.

Turning her body to fully face the girl she thought for a moment did she want to sleep now ? letting a breath fall from her lips she looked at Alice, just for a moment she wanted to just enjoy this time. pink strands of hair fell as the breath hit them, blinking them away she let a few words leave her. " I guess, after all i know you dont like to speak for long...but Alice....thanks for today, and i know it wasn't your idea...but thanking you for having me over."
Climbing onto the bed fully she lifted up the bottom of the bedding climbing like a puppy under the blankets she crawled her way letting her head pop out from under all the blankets she grinned. " Wow your beds so very comfy !"
Stretching out she wrapped her arms around the small waist of her dance partner pulling her down into the bed, letting go she blushed, ah she must be drunk with tiredness, that or she hadn't a clue why she was acting so intimate suddenly. Was it really because she had feeling for this girl? This girl....had jessie really come to terms with liking a girl? was that what was happening? It was all so very confusing yet right now...she was having fun, she hadn't had fun like this in a very long time. " sweetest of dreams Snow spirit"
Cuddling her face in the back of the snowy girl she moved the rest of her body so the girl had plenty of room if not more than needed.At least that way if the snowy girl didnt want to cuddle she could easily get away, after all Jessie stil new it was uncomfortable for her dance partner, she wanted to try this thoug...but making sure there were ways out she closed her eyes.

A verbal expression of thanks was given; one directed to the entirety of her time today at the widow's manor. Alice gave a slight nod. The was right. Having Jessie over hadn't been her initial idea. Though she couldn't help but admit a little that she herself had enjoyed herself with the boyish girl today. Not that she'd say that outright, however. But regardless, today had proved one of amusement for the widow. "You're welcome, I suppose."
Frozen eyes watched in amusement how the girl burrowed into the covers, only to pop out with an exclamation. It elicited yet another soft chuckle. "Ah, is it?"
The short flow of words soon morphed into a quiet sound as the widow was suddenly pulled down to the bed. White ribbons of hair spilled onto her face at the action, some on her pale neck. "Jeez." Came out softly again.
The physical contact made her tense a bit, but she appreciated how it was made easy to move out from should the snowy spider desire to. But despite the dislike of the contact, she remained, letting out an icy breath all the while. Snow spirit, hm? That was a new one. Smirking a little, she let white lashes fall gradually over icy eyes in a feigned attempt to sleep, permitting one last teasing phrase to flow past her pale lips. "Goodnight....puppy-chan."

The snowy girl didn't move, not one bit. This only made a surprized grin come onto Jessie's face as she let her body relax. Though then a nick name was said, puppy Chan ? So this was pay back for all the nick names that the tomboy had given Alice, but why puppy? Either way a blush met pale cheeks cuddling her head closer she let a embarrassed chuckle leave her lips. " why puppy Chan?"
Letting her hands loosen more her fingers slide across the silk night gown that held to the snowy spiders skin. Though she didn't get the nick name, it some how made her all fuzzy inside and she Let her hands stop to lay loosely to the girls side she lifted her head back a bit to get a deep breath of air . " Your such a tease"
Though so am I, Jessie thought as those words left her, she couldn't help but like teasing Alice, so this was what it was like to like someone, though she wondered how far did these feelings go for Alice? Was it just teasing ? This worry caused knots to form in the pink haired girls stomach. Letting it out in a soft breath as lips parted she relaxed again waiting for a response that she may never hear or never get after all they were trying to sleep.

Why puppy-chan, indeed? Alice wasn't quite sure. Jessie had reminded her a bit of a puppy today. She was warm like one too. And the girl had called the snowy spider kitten quite a few times. Warm fingers glided across her nightgown all the while.
"If I am to be a kitten, then you shall be a puppy. Besides, like one, you're quite warm." The first part was said with a bit of a firmer, lighthearted tone while the second portion rolled out in her natural monotone quietness.
As for being a tease, the widow chuckled softly. She couldn't argue with that. The other girl really wasn't any different. Shifting a little, she moved an icy hand to locate the warmer one at her side. Once found, lily-white nails once again pinched Jessie's hand ever so lightly.
"You're just as guilty as me, my dear." She added softly but teasingly -- in almost the same tone she had used when relaying the girl's name and requested honorific ending just a little while ago. This time, she hadn't said it like that to make Jessie flustered if it had did at all. Though such was her nature, after all. Now that the spider thought about it, they weren't really doing too well at attempting to sleep. Ah well. She didn't sleep too much nor too well anyways. Especially in the presence of others. But she kept her eyes closed and gave an honest attempt to indulge the boyish girl.
