It had worked, the kid had broke into a smile and was laughing a bit - at least it had worked at diffusing the tension that was undoubtedly been created;

"[i][b]HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! Oh my GOD! Is that really the only thing you could think of to say?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! Oh, MAN! I needed that! Whoo![/b][/i]"

Alex smiled again waiting for the kid to calm down a bit - which happened quickly.

[i][b]So you want to be taken to our...*snicker*... eh-hem.... leader, eh? Alright then, come on. Just a head's up though, we're in a bit of a crisis... okay a major crisis[/i][/b]

"Yes - I want to see your leader." It was hard to keep a straight face - but Alex managed it but things took a bit of a turn for the worse when he mentioned a major crisis.

"Major Crisis? Whats going on then?" then catching the kids last question - "Alex Freeman, and yours?"

Alex stood up waiting for his greeter to take him to were Alex wanted to go.
