Oookay...that was kinda odd...

Alec quirked his eyebrow, shaking his head slightly, glancing back over his shoulder one last time at the still chuckling agent before turning back continuing on his way to the elevator.

Huh...T-that was kinda off...right?

It seemed pretty off...

Well...to him in any case.

He'd be the first to admit he doesn't always get people senses of humor but that just seemed weird. What's so funny about him asking where to find his new partner Agent Bane?

Maybe the guy was laughing at something he'd read or seen earlier?

He shook his head faintly, climbing into the elevator, shifting the box with his personal effects to the side, pressing the button for the basement. It was probably nothing, or just a way to mess with the new guy. Maybe that was it...trying to make him nervous or unsure.

Yeah, that had to be it...just a bit of giving the new guy a hard time...

That was okay, it was the custom and all that (Annoying but standard human interaction). All in all it was actually a good thing, a way to integrate you into the group, to become part of the team. That was exactly what he wanted- to fit in, to be accepted and seen as just another member of the agency.

That is exactly what he needed to do...the last thing he wanted was to seem the odd man out, have people cross examining him or being suspicious. That would be very bad. Always best to just go with the flow and blend in, try to keep a low profile. The last thing he wanted was to draw attention, have people figure out his secret.

That was a big part of the reason he'd always stuck to lab work. It was much more isolated, giving him far fewer chances to slip up or draw attention. He'd never really mastered or taken to social skills and interpersonal interactions the way his siblings did- Izzy and Jace practically reveled in it. The two of them were always the life of the party and centers of attention. Even Max, while nowhere near as social as their other siblings, was quite a bit more adapt at it than Alec. While somewhat small his group of friends were quite close- near inseparable.
