No, not in the slightest .. With any luck, we won't have to deal with it again at any point.

[He can't miss that flicker of hope in her voice and he exhales slowly.]

I don't know .. I hope they do. For all the things wrong with my world, I'd at least like for them to have the same chance as me. No one deserves what Deior hints at ..

[He pauses at that sound, head tilting curiously as his blue-green eyes study her. It wasn't a particularly human sound, no matter what she appeared to look like.]

It is a great relief, yes .. More so when they finally get around to showing themselves again.

[Alex chuckles softly, his lips quirked in amusement as he nods.]

Yeah, this place has that kinda effect on a person. Feels like I've been here forever, even if it's only been a few months. You finding your way around?
