A: Twinkle, twinkle, little bat! How I wonder what you're at! (Closed to Yukina)

It was Alice's very first prayer she was answering. She was still getting a hang of being... well, a goddess, and Yukina was kind enough to be beside her the entire time, even living with her at the Temple of Idunna. She had looked at the prayers and thought, well, since she was able to talk to animals, and Yukina was able to heal, then they most certainly could help the poor soul keep the animals in the pen! So, taking Yukina with her onto the near shore, Alice politely asked here and there for directions for the farmer in question. Wondering what sort of animals they might be dealing with. It was a pretty little Swiss village, nothing like the grand cities she saw in pictures of London. It almost seemed untouched by time!

"It's like in a picture book!" she smiled up to Yukina as they headed up the hill to the farm, the animals in questions, goats and sheep, some chickens, and strangely enough butterflies! She didn't know you could farm butterflies. But as they walked up closer and closer to the farm mountain clouded yellow butterflies were flying all around. The farm house was a bit more modern with their devices than the picturesque landscape would suggest, a satellite sat on the roof of the main house, one car and one truck sitting in the driveway, but otherwise it was like a farm Alice would have found back in 1865.

She kept a hold of Yukina's hand as they finally made their way to the house.

"I do hope they're home!" she said as she went to go knock on the door.

B: Up above the world you fly, like a tea tray in the sky. (Open to all/The Far Shore)

A successful prayer should be rewarded! And what better way to reward one's self than with tea!

But everywhere she went was green tea! She frowned and put a hand on her hip as she continued to roam.

"It should not be this hard to find proper English tea!" she said out loud though she was speaking to herself. "Green tea is lovely, truly, but sometimes it's nice to just have a Grey's Tea." And a nice scone with clotted cream sounded quite nice as well.

"Well, before I get so horribly lost, I best ask," she nodded at her very good advice, and this time she was going to follow it, after all, tea was on the line!

"Excuse me! I do beg your pardon!" she shuffled over to the nearest person to her.

Alice was a bit confused why Yukina would continue to say such a thing. She didn't think much else needed to be said on the matter.

"All the same, sir, we best be on our way. If you do have any further trouble, though, you're welcome to pray again," she smiled as she hopped over to Yukina and grabbed her hand.

"We're going to be going before it gets past tea time, if that's alright. Your pussy cat will let me know if everyone listened to my instructions!" she offered a curtsy before she made to transport Yukina and her back to the Far Shore.

Yukina grasps onto Alice's hand.

"That went well, I think," she says. "But still I wonder what was happening, exactly, out there."

The animals weren't injuring themselves, after all. She was sure one of them would have tattled to Alice if that was the case, if not outright confessed.

"Should we follow up with them in the future, do you think? It's a nice place to visit, and they might have tea similar to your home..."

"We can follow up in a week's time. Like I said to the farmer, Mr. Puss will come and tell me if the animals aren't obeying. He knows how to get a hold of me. Coming back isn't a bad idea. It is, after all a very pretty place, like you said."
