Much in contrast to when Dr. Lim and Talion had first met, this time he was much quieter and spoke much softer. He was here in support of Mala, giving her someone to lean on a bit. He gave a nod to Lim and simply replied, "Doctor Lim..."
Letting Jez take a the lead, Alex calmly let the moment unfold in front of him. He could feel the confusion within Jez, when Andrea spoke to her. The young woman seemed unaware of how strongly she tended to broadcast her thoughts and feelings. She guarded some of her most inner thoughts and and could keep the thoughts and emotions of others from becoming distracting or annoying, but he feared that she had not gotten a strong enough foundation in her mental training as a child.
Alex worried about her perspective, but she was young and there was little that could be done to help that. Like so many other young women, she was going to have to make some very difficult choices and none of them were easy. He has taken care to not allow himself to be caught in such a situation, but it was easy for him to say such things. He knew it was wrong to presume everyone had his opportunities and privilege as they grew up. Ultimately, he couldn't make her decisions for her and he was not going to have to live with the results. Right or wrong, Jez would decide and then she would go about her life. Alex had certainly made his own share of mistakes, but the wisdom of years was not a gift the young could appreciate...yet.
