Alex shoots him an unamused glance. It is a little funny, but she doesn't plan on letting him know that. Then she switches her focus back to the mushrooms until he speaks again.

"Or when it turns out they've been lying to you for years." That's real, the kind of thing she wouldn't normally share, but right now, at least for the moment, she feels comfortable with him, like he might get it.

She's never had a lot of friends - even when she was a kid it was mostly just her and Yuri. She wonders, not for the first time, if Yuri's still alive, or if he was killed that night along with his parents.

She stops chopping for a moment, and brushes a loose lock of hair behind her ear before glancing at Kyle again, her eyes narrowed. She's not really offended, but she narrows her eyes and tries to frown, even though the frown is on the verge of becoming a smile. "Aren't you supposed to be telling me how to make a sauce or something?"
