Aleks stood firm and he saw the old man coming for him, he must have noticed the yawn. Then he started asking if he was tired.[i] Him of all people asks if I'm tired. The rings around this guys eyes meant he either hadn’t slept in years or he’s gotten into his mom’s makeup collection and didn’t know how much eye makeup was too much. [/i] Aleks thought to himself. Despite this he gave a ready answer, still a nervous about messing it up. 

“I am Aleks Gurav from a small town outside of the Hermiha District, and yourself sir?” Why had he added that last part? He was trying to be polite and he was nervous but now was not the time to be asking questions of his own. He could only hope it wouldn’t result in anything major for himself, but after seeing him send off the other one to run all those laps he was definitely expecting the worst.
