Oh. 'Good answer,' the brunette said, and turned back to the mirror as the other girl continued talking. 'Never said I was sensible. I just said you ain't,' she said with a roguish grin. She rather liked this girl. Perhaps they could be friends... or she could assist her in her secret plan to rule the world. Or both. Both seemed like a good plan. Wait, hang on... were those footsteps?
Oh, darn it. They'd been caught. She glanced at the other girl, and then back at the open mirror. What if they got locked in and couldn't open it from the inside? But still... it was either that or get caught, which didn't really sound too appealing. So she shrugged and headed into the little cavity. As long as you weren't scared of spiders, it wasn't that bad.
Alice stepped into the cavity after the other girl and pulled the mirror shut behind her. It actually wasn't that bad, it was pretty roomy, and a small bit of light crept in through the crevice in the wall. It didn't smell as terrible as Alice thought it would, and it wasn't very damp either. The only bad thing was that she was stuck in a caved in passageway with a girl who she knew nothing about. Except, of course,t hat she had an awesome Southern accent. The first year actually found her drawl quite amusing, compared to her own British way of speaking. "I didn't catch your name," Alice said. Ehh, that sounded very small talk-ish, and the Gryffie hated small talk, but if they were going to be in here for a while, might as well get to know each other...
