Alex watched for an annoyingly long time the goign-ons of the various people he called neighbors. What an interesting bunch....A twitch of an eye and the man sighed. "Yeah, I know I know...i'm going." Taking his multiple warnings in head he headed down the stairs, his sandals making their namesake flopping noises as he descended. Coming to ground level he began humming to himself, some sweet song with a slightly sad and slow undertone. A soft smile on his pale face and his pockets dug comfortably into his pant pockets. 

"Time to water..." he broke the tones to help himself remember his goals. Honestly without his constant friends reminding him of what he wanted to do, he would probably never get anything done. Not that he did much. Passing a door that had just been ajar, yet was now closed, Alex gave a smooth look around. An alien back revealed itself, just turning a corner. "Hm..." A shadow of protest was wiped away from his mind with a smirk and his steps became half a beat quicker. 

"Hey pal!" He jeered warmly to the stranger. His arm not busy with holding the shoe bag was raised and waving back and forth in a relaxed manner. A soft sort of smile was on his face, his eyes read intrigued yet not exactly excited. "New around here?" He asked as he sidled shoulder to shoulder. 

The plants could wait.
