"Right. You're a very negative person, you know that? Alex was perfectly fine, would laugh and joke around with people, even if he was the butt of the joke sometimes. He respected those who respected him. But YOU, you just annoy him for some reason. Maybe you remind him of someone he dislikes or something. I don't know. He's normally quite friendly. But literally the first thing you did was irritate him as soon as you got here. First impressions do matter with some people. Some people like jokes on a first meeting. Some don't. He's one of the latter. He's not a danger. YOU are just upsetting the way things are run around here!" She says, sitting back and crossing her arms over her chest.
"No... She's right."
Olivia and Brynn nearly jump out of their skin. Turning around, they see Alex leaning against the doorway, looking at Olivia with contemplative eyes. "I may be a nice guy at heart, sure, but the mood swings are a problem." He murmurs, walking up to Olivia and putting a hand on Olivia's shoulder. "Look. I know you don't like me. Known it since the start, even. But truth be told... You're right. I don't like admitting it, but you're right. But the thing is... I can't leave. Where will I go? I can't just wander around the galaxy looking for work. You think people are going to want to work with something like me?" He asks, his face sad.
"Alex don't talk like that! You're a person!" Brynn says.
"I'm not, Brynn. Don't be an idiot. Anyone can see that." He says, looking at the floor. Brynn is at a loss for words, looking at Olivia for a response.
