It had been a couple of hours since her and Damien had left his house, and the wolf was not what she had originally thought. He loved to joke, laugh, and always tried to get her to laugh in which he always succeeded. Damien seemed to push her to open up and talk about what life was like at Bunnyburrow. It was almost as if he was trying to avoid talking about himself, and when she did try to bring up him, would simply pretend he didn't hear her or he would change the subject. Damien kept true to his word and showed her around the city. He'd taken her to a café in the rainforest sector, a few shop in a large mall in Sahara square, and a interspecies restaurant in Zootopia Central. Alice's favorite was the restaurant because they served the best carrot soup she'd ever tasted; when Damien saw that she liked the soup he began teasing her and asking if was better than the soup her mom made, she responded by kicking him in the shin.

When the pair were finally sated with their meal, Damien grabbed Alice's paw, pulling her along with him as they headed to some unknown destination; he seemed to sense her fear of following him. He turned and looked down at her, "Fluff, you can trust me, I promise I wont lead you astray." He lead her to a staicase and pulled her up the steep staircase. When they reached the top, the sun was setting. Damien looked at the sun, then to her, "Beautiful..." Alice stared at him, "Excuse me?" He smirked, one of his canines appearing from behind his lip. "What? I meant the sunset...not that I'm saying you look bad, you know...for a bunny." She laughed and punched his arm; he held his arm close to him, feigning pain. "You punch like a bunny..." Alice shook her head, still smiling...deciding now would be the best time to ask him some questions. "So what brought you to the city, Damien? Or were you born here?" His smile slowly fell, his voice becoming somber, and his eyes ventured to the sunset, "No, I wasn't...always here." "And your parents? Where are they?" Alice saw his body stiffen at the word 'parents', she saw him quietly watching the suns last rays fade as night fell. Without a word, he walked away to a bench, leaving her standing there confused. 'Did I say something wrong?' She saw him sit on a bench, and she followed him. She quietly sat down next to him, and put her small paw over his to comfort him, "Damien, I-" "Alice..." his voice was full of emotion when he said her name. "...Its fine, I understand why you want to know; I just don't like to talk about them. It...stirs up too many things I'd like to forget." He grabbed her paw and squeezed it, and she looked into his eyes. For a second she thought she saw the real Damien Wolfsbane, and then she saw an emotion, one she couldn't place, on his face before he hid it with his mask. Damien smiled his signature charming smile. "C'mon let's go, Fluff. I don't want to be responsible for if your late to school." Alice's ears drooped slightly, she wanted to talk more, but finally got up and followed him. He was a hard nut to crack.

Even though he joked with her and pretended to listen to her, Damien was thinking, thinking really hard. 'Should he tell her his past? Or even about his parents?' But being a fractured as he was...he was hesitant to do so. 'I can trust her, at least I think I can...but will she think different of me once I tell her? NO, she won't think any different.' The voice in his head didn't agree with him, 'You're fooling yourself, Alice may seem different but we both know she will see you for the monster you really are...Give it some time.'They had been having fun, and Alice had singlehandedly ruined it with her curiosity, why couldn't she learn to leave things well enough alone. Oh, this bunny was messing with his head and he'd barely even known her for two days. Damien wondered what it would be like after a week knowing her, God he really didnt want to know. He noticed that she'd been staying close to him since she had seen his attitude change. He liked when she had put her paw on his earlier it felt...good.

Alice was having a dilemma, she kept wanting to reach the few inches and grab his paw. Her heart kept telling her to do so but she knew in her mind it was wrong mostly because she barely knew him. 'But you could get to know him...' her heart reasoned with him. But she knew better than to listen, but it hurt her to watch him have the internal struggle she could see him having. The great battle, the heart against the mind, what to do? Should- "Hey Fluff! You gonna keep walking or is this not your place?" Alice snapped back to reality and saw that Damien was at the entrance to her apartments lobby. The mental arguement she was having with herself caused her to just be on autopilot. "Sorry...I was thinking..." He chuckled, "Having your head in the clouds, mudst be a bunny thing." She brushed it off, letting him have this one. She turned to him, "Hey, you want to come in? Meet my family?" Damien pondered it for a second, but shook his head, "No thanks, Fluff, I have to get back to GG, next time. And remember your always welcome to stop by. He winked at her and walked into the dark.

Damien instantly started jogging home, knowing GG was probably mad that he was late. But as he walked up to his house, something seemed different. And when he entered his house, there seemed to be a weight, or a thickness in the air. It felt so unnatural, strange in the usually happy house. Damien simply brushed it off but stopped in his tracks as he saw GG standing there, waiting for him. He grew concerned, "GG, what's wrong?" "Damien, you need to sit down." He sat on the stairs, waiting for the news. "It's about...your dad." GG said sadly. What little remained of his smile quickly faded and became a look of anger. He growled lightly and his tail flicked back and forth. "What about him, GG?" GG grabbed his paws in hers, and squeezed them tightly. "Y-your dad got out, they shortened his sentence and he's coming back to Zootopia..."
