I'm not a fan of being part of their theatrics. However, I have mainly stayed far away from everything. An attempt to be boring so they might banish me out of this place.
[He can only hope... But he's with Verso on this one. He doesn't understand either, because these fae are highly different than what he's used to. He doesn't like it. Not knowing anything, even after being here for as long as he has.]
Ah. Well.
[His brow constricts. He should give a diplomatic response, but this question in particular... It always makes him honest. With the lack of support from his usual loved ones back home, he doesn't have anyone to supplement his lies. In some ways, he is truly helpless.]
Because I hate people.
[It's said flatly, but Verso might be able to see beyond the mask.]
I don't trust strangers, nor do I like being around them. Almost everyone who has come into contact with me has some malicious intent, so you can see why it would be rather difficult to sleep in a room with someone I do not know.
[Well. Alexander can be honest, and Verso's a little touched he's pulled that out of him. Or maybe not, because he can still see the masks. Ah, ah, he gets it.]
In your home world, or here? [Paranoia from home he can understand. Still, there's a lightness in his question, like he doesn't actually expect Alexander to answer.] But I get it. Betrayal is a quick way to make one antisocial.
....But you're not entirely antisocial, are you? You're hanging out with that, what was her name, Maelle? And me, now.
