Alex: leans in Why'd it have to be you, huh? My brother's pen pal? Small world, right?
Oh my god! What are you doing here?
Alex: raises an eyebrow I could ask you the same thing. Are you stalking me or something?
Nope, just came here to study. But what about you? Studying or spying on me?
Alex: crosses arms Don't flatter yourself, sweetheart. I don't need to spy on you. I already know everything I need to know.
Oh really? Enlighten me then. What's so important about me that I have to know?
Alex: smirks Well, let's see... I know you're a closet rebel who sneaks into underground fight clubs.
No way! How did you find out about that? Are you a cop or something?
Alex: laughs A cop? Nah, I wish I was that boring. I'm more of a... let's say, 'undercover observer'. So, don't try to pull anything on me, got it?
Undercover observer? You sound more like a creep than a cop. How did you even find out about the fight club?
Alex: leans in closer Let's just say I have my sources. And besides, I'm not here to judge you. I'm here to make sure you stay safe.
Why would I need your protection? I can take care of myself.
Alex: grins mischievously Oh, I don't doubt it. But let's just say, I've got some tricks up my sleeve too.
What's that supposed to mean?
Alex: pulls out a small device from their pocket This little baby is a GPS tracker.
You're serious? You're gonna track me?
Alex: smirks Relax, sweetheart. It's not as intrusive as it sounds.
That's still creepy, Alex. Fine, but no funny business.
Alex: winks Don't worry, babe. I promise not to abuse my powers. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some rebel business to attend to.
Wait, Alex. Before you go, there's something I need to tell you. It's about why I really came here tonight.
Alex: raises an eyebrow Oh? Enlighten me, babe.
Promise you won't get mad?
Alex: rolls their eyes No promises, sweetheart. Just spill it already.
Okay...I was worried about you. About how you're taking care of yourself. And I wanted to show you I meant that. shows her bruises
Alex becomes furious and takes it upon themselves to protect Elizabeth from further harm
Alex: grabs Elizabeth's arm firmly Come on, we're leaving this place. Now.
What? Where are we going?
Alex: We're going to my place. I have some things I need to show you, Elizabeth. Things you need to see and understand.
Huh? What kind of things?
Alex: smirks You'll see soon enough, babe. Just trust me and let's go. And don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you.
Alright, lead the way, Alex. But no surprises, okay?
Alex: grinning mischievously No surprises, I promise. Now, follow me and try to keep up, sweetheart. We've got a lot to cover.
