Alex internally chuckled at her calling him a jerk. Playful name-calling had always, seemingly, been a part of human friendship. One that he had grown to find rather endearing.
He smiled at her before offering her his arm once again, to head to the next destination. 'Unfortunately the cafeteria does get a little crowded. Not my scene.' He said simply. He didn't see the point of eating socially when he wasn't a social person. He had no friends here. A few acquaintances who he could nod to in the hallway, but he never really allowed himself to get close to anyone. He spent a lot of his time studying, reading and quietly contemplating his life. When you had an eternity, boredom didn't seem to be such a problem anymore.
He wondered if Victoria had ever noticed his anti-social tendencies, as he often did. Recently she'd been going through his mind a lot more frequently. Thoughts about her seemed to fill a lot of his waking hours, and even more of his sleeping ones. It was getting ridiculous. But she was the only person he had ever been really close to since before he turned, so it wasn't totally strange.
