[Alex grins to himself, finding himself liking this guy. He'll talk to you freely about the moon thing if you ever inquire, believe me, wolf boy. :3]

Sounds like you've been there, done that.

[His own tone is dry, but amused, but then the conversation shifts again and his voice evens out.]

Not so much as a bit of rain since .. bit weird in itself, but when orange clouds start appearing from who knows where I tend to be a bit paranoid.

[When Derek says that he is new, Alex nods to himself, glad that he got that bit right.]

I'm Alex .. what's your name?

[He's fully prepared to be told to pound sand, but maybe not.]
