Alex glances behind them at the sound of Chat's voice, doing a double-take when they see a panther in the man's place. They were not expecting that. They instinctively step away from the big cat, watching as he slipped through Jikai's legs before turning back into a human. Well, that was strange. They didn't know the kid could do that. They poke up their tongue at the hybrid's words, shaking their head, a small smile lifting their lips. "He's all yours, buddy. I don't think I'm his type, anyways." Matt might have offhandedly called them pretty, but Alex was into men that complimented them without threatening them with a bat. Relationships went smoother that way. 

They tense up when Jikai turns toward Rialto, his snake making it's way towards their friend's shoulders. They yelp when Rialto pinches their arm, turning away from the reptile to throw a playful glare at him. They nearly jump when Xiaoxiao slides in front of their face on their way to the vampire beside them, teeth baring at Jikai's little stunt. They would nip at his arm if they weren't in the presence of a merchant. They step away from the pair, their fear of the ball python stronger than their need to strangle the witch.

Alexander turns their attention back to the merchant, finding interest in the ceremonies his wine was used in, the effects it had on people. It sounded like a wild ride - one that they would rather not get on. They shake their head at the witch's little speak, tongue poking between their teeth, hands coming up to play with their bangs. "That sounds like too much work. Why don't we just take it back to town? He'd get better business there, and I'm sure the minimart could lend him some space to store his alcohol." They try not to act surprised when Jikai flirts with Rialto, eyes flicking to their friend, eyebrow raised. Strong, attractive men? Alex would not put the vampire in that category. They can't help but grin, slapping a hand over their mouth. They push at Rialto's shoulder, away from Xiaoxiao, burgundy eyes alight with amusement. "C'mon, strong, attractive man! Help 'em out." They giggle.
