Not good enough, Alex thought, holding back the urge to wave at him so that he could see Alex wanted to shake his hand. No matter. Alex played it cool. His hand easily lifted and slid through his hair, like one of those Head and Shoulders commercials. Yeah. Except less epic and minus all the soap suds. "Yeah, it's been a while. I guess when you become a grown up you don't really have much time to see much of anyone anymore." He grinned when he mentioned Olivia. He just couldn't help it. And it momentarily distracted him from their current predicament.
"So how do you reckon we get ourselves out of this pickle?" He caught sight of Bast's cell phone and tilted his head. "Thinking about going Macgyver on this tin can?" Sure, the reference might have been lost on him, but Alex always had an eye for the interesting. Macgyver was definitely interesting regardless of its antiquity.
