Something about what Alex had said, or hasn't said, seems to have struck a nerve with Artair. "That 's it? No thanks, no sign of being grateful, just 'Well, I'm tired now'?" he asks, his mechanical arm whirring as the hand is withdrawn and replaced with a flashlight, which he turns on and shines at Alex. "She's taken you out of the cold, windy rain outside and sheltered you with her very body, allowing you to rest in a warm, comfortable place that you would be hard-pushed to match out here, even offering to defend you from the real predators out there who would kill you without even sparing you a thought, and she's only known you for five minutes! Then you just come out with that, which would probably hurt her feelings since she's just trying to help you out! You should be ashamed!"<br/><br/>Alexis gasps as she feels him squirm free and manages to clamp her throat shut in front of him before he can enter. "No! Don't jump down there now, I'm digesting that sitrus berry! You'd be killed!" she exclaims.<br/><br/>Leila grins. "Yeah, but I didn't wanna bring it up..."<br/><br/>"Go on," coaxes Kate, apparently not about to let him off the hook so easily.
