	Something felt off to Alex. For the first time in his life he felt as though he was missing something. Alex could not place it, but he knew if he paused for to long he would look suspicious. [color=cyan]"I wouldn't necessarily chalk it up to confidence. I see the world in a matter-of-fact sort a way, so things like this come easy to me."[/color] The spiel that Malcolm gave didn't affect Alex at all. Whether the people Malcolm mentioned were alive or not didn't matter to Alex. He just didn't care. Still Alex had to now put on a show of his own.

	[color=cyan]"Malcolm, I'm sorry for your lose, but neither of us has the luxury to think on those who died. If it helps you don't need to mention the dead members again. However, I need you to tell me how many brutes there were, and the names of your people who were still alive. Giving up on people before you see the body is useless and dangerous to that individual. If the brutes caused harm to your group then the best thing to do is to figure out how to get justice for what happened. Grieving also makes it harder to keep the living alive."[/color] Something in Alex's mind was sending red flares all over the place. Alex couldn't place it though. All it was at this point was a gut feeling, and he hated going purely off of a gut feeling.

	For now Alex had no choice but to believe the man's story. If it wasn't true then the best way to trick someone into letting up their guard is by convincing them you are on their side. At this point Alex hoped it really was true though. Either way Alex decided to try ending this conversation so he could think over everything, [color=cyan]"Hey, it's about time for dinner. You should get some food and rest more. We will have a long day tomorrow."[/color] Definitely not the best way to end the conversation, but Alex needed to make it seem like he cared about this man and his group.
