Alex smiled at her, a sad smile. Of course, he was playing a part, and he had to remember that. 'I just worry about you is all. The thought of you getting caught up with the wrong crowd, or finding yourself facing something... different.' He raised an eyebrow when he said that, signalling that he was talking about something other than human, and less than friendly. 'I just don't want you getting hurt, is all. And college is one of the easiest places for that to happen. Just... Be careful, won't you?'
He knew that Victoria was naturally cautious, but he also knew that even she couldn't protect herself all the time. And he knew that there were supernaturals she couldn't see just yet, after all, he was one of them. He didn't want to let her know what he was really thinking, though, as that would mean explaining to her that, for all the time they'd known each other, he had been pretending to be something he wasn't. And that was a conversation better left for another day.
