Misery Loves Company [Open, but don't expect to get too far in consoling him]

 Alex was sitting in one of the abandoned buildings, where part of the wall and roof had caved in. It was a familiar place, though it wasn't one he had spent much time in. The significance was that he and Luna had talked here for quite some time after the whole fiasco with the bombs. They had been so happy that the other one was okay.

Luna had told him about some of her magic- he still didn't really understand it, and now he didn't know if he ever would.


He sat against the crumbling wall on the same slab of rock he had used last time, staring at the rock Luna had been sitting at.

Why did Fate let him meet someone as wonderful as her, just to take her away?

Why couldn't he bring himself to tell the ship to make him forget her?

Instead, he was sitting there without either his jacket or Alice, his arms wrapped around himself, and his fingers digging into his arms as he cried silently. The building was off the beaten path, and he hoped that he might get some solace here. In his room he had to face Tavros, and Katara had already tracked him down once. 

Right now his hands were still, but jagged and slightly bloody scratch marks were evident on his upper arms where he had apparently mindlessly been grabbing and squeezing. It was unclear if he had noticed them or not, though anyone who knew him would know it would be unlikely that he had, knowing of how he normally reacted to blood.

"I don't think I'm particularly good company right now." He still tried to weasel his way out of this. "And the shadow already lashed out at you once. I don't want that to hurt you."

He still resisted for a moment, before he finally caved and came nearer to him. He sat about six feet from Alex, still preferring to remain in his own bubble of misery. "I'm..." he searched for words, but shook his head when he came up with none. "I'm a mess..." he sighed, running a hand through his hair, but it was caught in the tangles and blood.

"Yeah..." he replied. "Looks like we've both had a terrible week." He leaned back against a wall, and looked up at the decrepit ceiling. "What I wouldn't give for my brother to be here right now..." he muttered.
