Holland Place(#4147RJ)
Holland Place's interior is dimly lit. The hallways were painted white, some long time ago, and the carpet was carefully chosen to avoid showing wear but the years have made it a mass of stains and bald patches. Creaky stairs lead to a second story, then a third story, each with its own landing.
On the first floor, a thick door leads outside. Six other doors on each of the three floors lead into individual apartments.

Alicia is staring out the window of her hotel room, watching the night life of St. Claire's. A soft sigh passes her lips, forehead pressed to the cold glass, her breath coming out in misty whisps.

A soft triple-knock on the door betrays a visitor's presence.

Alicia turns her gaze towards the door and heads over. Currently she's wrapped up in a bathrobe she snagged from the closet. Peering out the peep hole, she then unlocks and opens it up. "Hi.."

Yi bows her head, not stepping in yet. "How are you?" She asks the newfound cub, turning her eyes up to look at her.

Alicia shrugs her shoulders, stepping to the side to let her in. "I'm ok.. I..changed into a wolf. It was...fun.."

Yi just barely chuckles, and bows her head again as she steps into the room. "How did it feel?" she asks, her concern and curiosity coloring her voice.

Alicia closes the door behind her and locks it. "It was fun..Until Nevada left." She sighs, then strides across the room, slipping onto one of the twin beds.

Yi leans against the wall next to the door, nodding slightly. "What did Nevada have to say?" she inquires further.

"Nothing after I told him I was pregnant..." She says in a soft whisper. "He took off and left.. he was upset." Alicia lays down, drawing a pillow to her head, clutching it.

"Hn," Yi replies, leaning her head on the palm of her hand. "Nevada... likes dealing with his problems alone, it seems. Don't be upset though, it's part of the life." She pushes off the wall and moves over to sit on the other twin sized bed. "Do you have any questions?"

Alicia shakes her head, sighing as she pulls the sheets over her body. "Nuh uh. Not for now.. Lise an I talked our heads off." She pauses a moment, rolling onto her back, staring up at the ceiling. "I like her.. a lot."

Yi nods, a small smile flitting over her lips. "Well, that's good," she intones, leaning a little on the soft bed. "Did she figure out what tribe and auspice you are?"

Alicia smiles a bit. "I'm a Child of Gaia, but we aren't sure of what Auspice..I guess Nevada said we have to look up my birthday to find out."

"Child of Gaia," Yi murmurs in echo, nodding slowly. She smiles a little wider. "Well I should fully introduce myself then, now that I can. I'm Song Yi Ling, Three-Blades to Garou, cliath ragabash to the Bone Gnawers tribe. I came from Hong Kong, from the Sept of Rat's Tail. And now, I'm here in St. Claire." She nods as she ends the introduction.

Alicia nods and blinks a bit at most of the introduction, only knowing a few words. "Um... Well, its nice ta' meetcha' then Song Ling."

Yi grins, running a hand through her hair. "Please, just Yi. I was born on a night when the moon was new, if that helps any." Her head quirks a little to the side, then she looks around the room for a few moments before gazing back at the girl.

Alicia nods her head and smiles. "Ah'guess you can call me Alicia.." She admits. "Thats my real name." Wetting her lips, she stretches out her arms, tucking them behind her head. "If you want anything, just call room service. There's a real cute guy who comes up here to get stuff for us."

Yi laughs softly and glances up towards the ceiling. "Is there a reason, why you were called Arizona?" she asks from curiosity.

Alicia shakes her head no. "That was just my tag name on the streets. Ashley was Nevada, and I was his.." She pauses with a slight giggle. "His bitch, so I got a code name to go with him, so I became Arizona."

Yi glances to the girl, and quirks her head to one side. "Tag name? Code name?"

Alicia nods her head. "Yup. A code name..you know, like when he introduced himself as Sheeps-Clothing. On the streets, we got names too."

Yi mouths an 'oh' and nods slowly. "We had names too, in the triads at home. Mine is the same as my deed name, Three-Blades." She shifts her eyes towards the floor, remembering the faces of her sept at home.

Alicia nods her head. "Thats a kick ass name. I hope I get a cool one some day like that." She smiles, rolling to her side, facing the young Asian.

Yi smirks softly, glancing up at Alicia. "Sometimes it's a name I'd like to forget," she says quietly. "But a name as such, does tend to call respect." She smiles at her. "I'm sure you'll have a good name. One even the lupus born would wonder about."

Alicia hmms to herself. "Yah.. like.. Acts-Like-A-Whore, or.. Uses-Too-Much-Drugs." She sighs softly and runs a hand back through her hair. "I guess its time to change my life in a big way eh.."

Yi shakes her head, her smile turning a little wry. "No, no names like that. However, you do earn your name by your actions. If you want a good name and people to speak of you well, you do have to change from your ways." She swings up her legs onto the bed and sits cross legged atop the mattress. "A name like... Runs-Like-the-Wind." She chuckles softly, remembering the little episode of cubnapping.

Alicia giggles a bit and tosses back her hair, letting her gaze rest upon the Asian Gnawer. "Well, I guess we'll see how well my actions reflect upon me, or something like that." Wetting her lips, she lets out a tired yawn, covering her mouth. "I hope Nevada...comes back to me. I guess I understand the no mating thing, but still.. you can still have a loving relationship without sex, and he's worth it in my opinion, I'd give it up just to have him in my arms."

Yi tilts her head almost enough to make her fall over. "It would depend, but you are a good person. He may not want the relationship, if he doesn't feel he can keep you, and the Litany." She purses her lips into a thin line. "Still, I think if you let him know how you feel, and perhaps show him a bit of the way, it could work." She nods affirmatively, fighting down memories.

Alicia nods her head with a slight sigh. "Last night, he wanted the relationship, just because I've changed on the outside, doesn't mean I have on the inside." Tugging the sheets over her head, she hides herself, looking like a lump.

Yi slips off the bed and to the lump of Alicia. She pokes the lump experimentally. "If you are that tired, then tell me. I've got to get back to patrols soon anyway."

Alicia shifts underneath the sheets, then pokes her head back out. "No, not tired.. just a bit depressed. The past few days I've spent them in his arms at night, sleeping on his chest."

Yi slides down onto the floor again to sit cross legged. "He's disappeared before. Hopefully, he'll come back...without something bad happening."

Alicia sighs softly. "The last time he left, he left me pregnant and alone..."

"Well this time, if he leaves you pregnant, he won't be alone for long," Yi replies. "The Litany calls for no mating between Garou. The first time, perhaps, was fate that you had not birthed your baby. Just imagine why. Metis, what we call a child from two Garou, are born in crinos form. The half man, half wolf. The problems that could have been, were not. Maybe it is fate also, you came to St. Claire, to find Nevada again."

Alicia shrugs her shoulders a bit, running a hand along her stomach instinctivly. "So, your saying I had a fuzzy monster in my belly?" She blinks and licks her lips again. "Maybe... I've never believed in fate before, I just wish my fate with Nevada wasn't as weird as this."

Yi nods in a way. "Well, you had the baby that would come out like a smaller form of a big fuzzy monster. Only it would have been deformed in some way. Such is the curse of Garou mating." She stands up from the bedside, stretching upwards. "Sometimes, weirdness makes others see things in a different light." She heads towards the door, rested and ready for another trip around the city. "Don't be disappointed, if the Nevada you knew is not the same. You're going to be with us, and we'll fight through Life together." She smiles at the girl as she opens the door. "Jay would probably laugh at this situation in a way. I don't know if he knew Nevada had a girlfriend. And for you to be Garou as well... Well it's an interesting twist. Better than any TV show. Good night, Alicia." With that, she bows her head again and closes the door behind her, trumping out into the night.

Alicia watches her go and lets out a soft sigh. Her thoughts go back to the window and to Nevada, hoping that her Silver State is safe and thinking about her too.
