The thought of impromptu baby delivery hadn't occurred to Alexandria - though if it had been something she'd considered even in the realm of possibility, her composure would have been considerably compromised. Alexandria didn't truck with babies or blood if she could help it, and to her knowledge, both played a significant role in childbirth. As for bad news, Alexandria was unaware of this trope, and so settled in for what she hoped wouldn't be too long a delay.
"I..." Alexandria considered this question carefully. She didn't want to alarm this girl by enumerating some of the less than savory events that had occurred since she'd moved in to Pax, but at the same time didn't want to mislead her. "There are things I like about it."
After a pause, Alexandria pushed up her glasses and shared more than would have normally made sense. "It's nice to have family nearby. My friend Adam, who I suppose is like family, lives across the hall from me, and my brother just moved into the building; he's also a worrier."
A faint smile pulled at her lips. "My parents fortunately live about a half hour away, so they keep the bulk of their worry to phone calls. Though I think they're channeling through my brother a bit now."
Alexandria had the immediate sense that she should reach out to this girl. It was unfamiliar and a little uncomfortable, if only because she was wholly unaccustomed to the sense when not directed at close friends and family. All the same, she said,
"So. Have you had the chance to meet many people here yet?"
