[Alexander still has his coat draped over him as well with his classic yellow gloves hanging out of his pocket, in contrast Dr. Nox looks extremely tired. Heavy bags under his eyes as he manages a little smile, which is more than usual.] Thank you, Somers.

[He steps in, following her to the back to start on a cup of coffee for himself. There’s something so comfortable about Mary and her laboratory space, perhaps it is because its not his own] Yes, marmalade would be optimal.

[ a realization hits as she heads towards the door behind her desk, opening it up and revealing the laboratory that an astrophysicist would dream of. the winnings she gains from the games helped plenty to make it better.

the kettle on a nearby table with a plate of scones whistles on the spot in perfect sync upon a guest arriving. what good timing. ]

We're not on the clock right now. Feel free to call me Mary if you'd like.

[ because friends do that, it's only natural as she presses the switch to cease the continued heat for the hot water. what follows is mary patting a free chair right by the table as she takes another. ]

[Alexander takes a seat after pouring himself some coffee, seizing the moment to have a thorough look around at all the equipment and other adornments, photos, small desk knickknacks, etc.]

Very well, Mary…And, ah, if you would prefer, you may call me Alexander.

[Dr. Nox gives a few half-forced coughs to disguise his sentimental nature…Well, that and his lungs were becoming labored as they typically do.]

[ "alexander" — a confused look envelops her face while carrying the steel pot in her hands. the coughing doesn't bother mary when it's a natural occurence that she hears during the games.

a fake name, however... it makes her think of ash, but it's also a thought that she doesn't exactly shrug off. ]

Hold on. I thought your name was Mikhail?

You of all people should not be surprised by this.
[He opts to focus on his cup, not wanting to stir up drama with Mary. He enjoys her company, perhaps even trusts her too much.]
You see my methods on the field, no authority would overlook such experiments. A fake name was necessary.

[ a soft hum leaves mary's throat as she pours the hot water in both tea cups that waits for the coffee mixture and her bag of black tea.

alongside the plate of scones and tea set that mary has set up, she has several more belongings scattered around the table: a pile of books, folders of documents on top of it, two pens (black and red), and the most important item in her possession — a framed picture of newton as a young lad.

she lets out a soft nod. ]

I do remember the story of someone pretending to be you for a prison break as well. [ once the hot water rests in their cups, mary takes a seat. ] Plenty of reason to keep it hidden. And...

[ a hum leaves her throat as she wordlessly says his name, twice. on the third try, it's vocal: ]

Alexander. Thank you for sharing it with me.

Your understanding is appreciated. [He responds with a respectful nod, beginning to mix his coffee. That prison rumor comes as no surprise to him, there are many similar.

The doctor’s eyes catch on the picture of the young boy, someone he isn’t entirely familiar with but can assume is her son. It brings his mind back to his mother, Katerina, lamenting the the time that has passed since he’s seen her even if it is for the best.

He snaps back to attention with his coffee, thoroughly mixed to satisfaction as he takes his first sip.]
