Re: trailer park: alex and mal
Alex scrubbed a hand through his hair. "Not...really," he admitted as he kept stride with Mal. "Like...I mean, I got enough goin' on without all this. An' then dragging you into it on top of everything else. I feel bad about that really." He sighed. "I'm gonna stop apologizing and I swear this is the last time I say thanks."
There was a part of him, he had to admit, that was glad for an excuse to spend time with someone else, and Mal in particular. He thought they got along well enough and he really - always - needed more friends. It was part of just...learning how to live again, for him. It wasn't always easy, and the last couple weeks had made it even more difficult. Sleepwalking, going through the motions, and he'd spent far too much time living that way. It troubled him now more than it ever had before.
