^Hey...^ *Vorim stood a short distance from her, seemingly appearing out of nowhere. He never really attracted much attention as he moved, meaning that he often seemed to teleport to people who weren’t watching him. He had heard about Alpha’s change from Sapphire, and about her ‘last stand’ at the ship from Alice. He took a step forward, smiling kindly.* ^Do you mind if I join you?^ *She wasn’t the only one who had changed since they last saw each other. He no longer had his stutter, and though he shifted a bit and fiddled with his own fingers, he had no other signs of nervousness. He was dressed plainly, wearing a dark red hoodie with a pair of grey cargo pants. He had a brown briefcase with him as well.*
