Gladus' miniature head shakes sideways a pair of times "No, no, no! I said one Index fing-

The tiny sentient stops, now well aware she could fully understand his body language. Had he more human features. such as eyelids, they would be wincing in a manner to convey the fact that he understood she could read him. He rises on his hind paws, his wings folded behind him. One of his frontal paws, however, comes to scratch the lower segment he would call a chin in a very human way, almost as if to make things easier on Lucida despite that tiny prank "I see what you did here. Anyway, nice to meet you...even though we already met before. At least in a visual way".

"Well, that's a relief, because it was pretty bad" continues Alex, this slight uproar winded down. The face of her mask had long since washed away "To continue, with all of this given to me, I've kind of realized that maybe that was why there wasn't much between the two of us. Kind of like an ex-prisoner unwilling to settle down with someone with a stain like this. Actually, it was exactly like that".

Once again, she stops, slowly leaning her head against clown's shoulder. She does it in a deliberate way, her hands subtly but firmly clinging to the arm available to her. Her face is still mired in stoicism, yet there was an obvious shade to her face. The clown is quick to make a remark as his hand goes on the other side of her hip, his voice a bit deeper than usual, part cheery, part grateful "I honestly thought at times that maybe I should have spoken about this...unfavorable part of my life. Bet you didn't expect the clown of all people to have dabbled in this sort of ungraceful profession".

His voice dives just a bit deeper "Perhaps me speaking about this would have witheld your hand about handling her under my care. I would have accepted it..."

The clown's mask diverts from the duo to gaze at his own spouse "Perhaps I should have delivered those words to you, maybe witholding your need for closeness. I would also have accepted it..." Those words prompt Alex to slightly clench her palm into his, closing her eyes while so.

He turns back to the doc, his casual voice returned in full force "Well, 'tis a good thing monsters here are a bit more persistent than your average person. Even with this whole baggage of your typical ex-con sob story, she threw all of this like caution in the wind anyway. Apparently, change is like a get-out-of-jail card around here".

Despite using these layback words, the man behind the mask was trully grateful for this, as any man would.
