Alexander restrained his urge to deliver a firm kick to Elijah's groin at his tasteless jeering. Alexander knew that shooting a comment back would only make the situation worse and as such held his tongue firm, but it was very irritating to have someone make fun of something as simple as preparing for the unexpected. Putting the trivial matter behind him Alexander removed his pistol from it's holster and ejected the magazine. Racking the slide Alexander cleared the chamber and caught the bullet in midair. Placing the bullet back into it's magazine Alexander placed the now full magazine back into the magazine port and ensured the safety was in place before he holstered the handgun back into the webbing he wore beneath his jacket.

Unlike most people, Alexander made these motions seem fluid, even natural. He was well acquainted with these pistols and their operation came pretty close to second nature for him. As Elijah began to gas the area Alexander took a step or two back to avoid the flames, since fire had a habit of getting out of control when you least expected and least wanted it to, even with the rain giving everything a protective coat of water. As the corpse burned Alexander steeled his stomach against the smell and was thankful that he hadn't recently eaten. There always seemed to be a ledge where, even against the most iron-willed protests, a body decided that it was going to vomit anyway.

Thankfully that didn't seem to be the case today, and Alexander was more than thankful for it. As Elijah made the comments about sticking with Locke Alexander made a sarcastic mental note that Elijah considered himself to be 'Too cool to be helpful." and left the issue alone. His judgements aside, Alexander waited for Locke to give directions since Alexander didn't consider it a brilliant plan to simply act on whims when you wanted anything to succeed.

He briefly considered offering to head back to his apartment and scour the internet for any breaking news that looked suspicious, but Alexander set that idea on the backburner after he figured that Elijah would make another snarky comment about Alexander being a coward, despite the overwhelming amount of military proof that good intel was the key to victory in the long term.

Regardless, Alexander was back to waiting. Who knew that being a vampire hunter entailed so much of the boring pastime?
