"Sounds like a plan. I'll be in the living room if you need me." She said, getting up and starting to clean of the table. "Rest well."

He stood up and followed her into the living room. "Would it be alright if I sat on the couch?" he asked, not used to having free reign over where he could be.

"Of course, Ray." She answered. "Feel free to kick back, lounge, do whatever. Really. Though it may get a bit noisy in here when the guys get here with my new 72" TV"

He smiled at her. "Sounds good." he pulled off his boots and set them next to the couch, out of the way and took off his jacket and put it over the couch behind him after he sat down. He leaned his head back and closed his eyes. He began to remember everything in his life that led up to this point. His mother's death. His nomadic lifestyle. Coming through Alex's wall. He began to fall asleep, only for him to shake his head, waking himself up.

Alex tried hard not to watch him and ask him to go to sleep. So instead, she picked up the book on the table and began reading. However, the more she read, the more distracted she got. She was so curious as to why Ray wouldn't sleep, but she could stand to see that look again... That and not sleeping would only make him weaker. Finally she sighed, put the book down, and started pacing behind the couch.

"What's up?" he asked, noticing his friend suddenly moving back and forth behind him. He tried, in vain, to look at her by pushing his head against the couch. After a few seconds of failure, he turned around so that he could actually see her.

"It's nothing." She answered simply, even though it was obvious that wasn't true. "Just rest, Ray. Please. You need it more than you need to be worrying about what maybe bothering me." Her smile was sincere and her voice calm. If it wasn't for her troubled eyes, she might have actually fooled someone into thinking that she wasn't thinking about something.

He gave her an assuring is smile before he turned back around and assumed his previous position. The look in her eyes bothered him, but she said it was nothing, so he wouldn't pry, especially to someone who was letting him stay there.

She was glad that Ray didn't persist, but that didn't solve her problem. She paced for a little bit longer before sitting on the other end of the couch, putting her face in her hands. The stress was astounding. So much she wanted to know, so much she wanted to help with. However, she couldn't even bring herself to ask questions. For the first time, she was actually afraid of upsetting someone, and she wasn't even sure why. Still... she had to keep that from Ray as long as she could... that too could upset him.

"Hey, Alex, y'know, if you ever want to know anything 'specific' about me, you can go ahead and ask, I don't mind." he said, still looking at the ceiling, he was counting the different little ridges in it..

Alex froze for a moment before letting out a laugh. "What are you? Some kind of mind reader? It's like you knew I had questions." She answered, failing to mention the why she hadn't asked. The brunette looked up at the ceiling with him, not finding anything particularly interesting about it. "You can ask me stuff too. I'll give you an honest answer."

He looked over at her with a dumbfounded look. "I'm a mind reader?" he asked without thinking. "Oh! No, not at all, I guess it was convenient that I said that, huh? But really, ask away, I'm used to the 'twenty questions' game when I stay with people."

I bet you are... She thought before looking over at him, he seemed to be feeling a bit better from this morning, but not much. "Do you ever get to ask anything about them? It would only be fair." Alex asked with a smile, still trying to find the means to ask what she wanted to know.

"I guess I could of, but I never did. I would of felt rude to do so, y'know. I was a guest in their home and it wasn't my place to question them."

"Well," She started with a chuckle. "This is your home too, as long as you chose to live here, so feel free to question me all you want. I'm almost sure you can't ask as many questions as Kaylee did." Her mind flashed back to the day she first met Kaylee. It was one of the few memories of her childhood she was able to regain. Her black-haired friend spent half the day that afternoon asking a million and a half questions. Ray couldn't possibly have that much to ask.
