[materializes from the shadows as alex rounds the corner in the library, hi alex
too bad his emotions probably give him AWAY!!! it's the amused vibe of a troublemaker, layered over an ever-present hum of general apathy and boredom.... but that takes a backdrop for now because it's alex!!!]
[ SHE STILL JUMPS A BIT because feeling someone's emotions lets you know they're nearby, but maybe not, like, lurking around a corner like a weirdo!!!! ]
Aah! Don't do that! [ she's a little amused though. ]
[at this, his emotion turns a little wary -- a little like an animal that's sizing up a threat, even though alex is clearly joking (???). it's like an ingrained instinct, that he looks at her again,]
You shouldn't, even if you could. I don't want to have to make you an enemy.
[it sounds like a threat, but the emotions here are serious,]
[alex..... the sincerity helps though, and the wariness from earlier vanishes,]
That's the only way to change anyone. [he agrees... even though he's like i will obviously not change and remain an evil kdrama villain (who hangs around teenagers who bully him)
a beat, then]
It wasn't quite the same, but I've been manipulated like that before. So I've learned not to be patient when it happens.
[ she knows next to nothing about him, so this is a little hard to conceptualize. how does a 600+ year old guy who says ominous stuff get manipulated? she doesn't doubt him at all, she just has no idea what that means.

there's a distinct heehee from his stupid emotions though, it's the little things in life that bring him joy,]
You really like bossing me around, huh?

I suppose I prefer someone who tells me no, than someone who just tries to change who I am.
no subject
Is there that much of a difference...?

he glances at her, curious]
Would you curse me to be a nicer person?

No, yeah, I think the best you can do is try to remind people who they want to be, right?

she is sympathetic, though. ]
What happened?

You know those stories where a human saves an animal's life? And then the animal turns out to be magical and offers them a boon?
[he's smiling, but the vibe here is annoyed,]
It's like that, except nothing I do compares to that initial kindness.
