"Well Alan, I'm Alexander Leons. Just call me Alex," the man told him. With the excitement from earlier all pettered out, he had a chance to think about the name Alan gave him, the name of the boy he's looking for. Ezekiel Zwei, a rather unique name. One that he has yet to encounter sadly. However, he noticed that Alan and the boy have the same last name. So they are related in some way. They're either brothers, or possibly cousins. Whatever the case, considering how small this town is, if he hasn't even heard of the kid yet that would mean he isn't here. So, looks like they'll have to leave town to go looking for him. But for now, Alan looks like he desperately needs to stop and rest for a day or two. "So... Can I ask why a kid barely even in his teens is travelling?"
