[Mal had conflicting views on privacy. On the one hand, it was a right to be treasured, and to be violated only in times of extreme need. On the other, it was a privilege that only the good deserved access to, and a line which might be crossed in pursuit of righteous enough goals. Who drew the line? Well he did, obviously.
There were aspects of the building he shared with Shiloh and Alex that he had kept very much to himself, but he was unwilling to leverage them unless absolutely necessary. Alex not keeping up what had, if he would admit it to himself, become something he looked forward to each morning - that wasn't reason enough. Not answering any communication did push things further, but he still waited patiently until well past nine at night before he physically roused himself from his workshop, went upstairs, and knocked on Alex's door. He knocked a few times, then a few times more, more firmly.] Alex. [He waited a moment, listening for a response.]
