Alex looked at the one who spoke to him. His expression was relatively grim, but when he opened his mouth, the tone was cheery enough to show he was neither annoyed nor bothered. "Help with what? I thought I'd instead stop by to see if I could be of assistance. I could use some help with finding whoever is leading this group. I need to speak with them to determine what must be done." He was quite blunt and his stance showed quite a bit of tension and discomfort at being around a group. His time in isolation had definitely left him a bit on the socially anxious side for sure.
