Alexei turned his grey eyes to look at Askier and cocked his head in question. Had he used happy? Yes. But that was not unusual. Knew what emotions were, had even used word before. But why did he feel surprised when Askier told him what he'd said. Odd. Had...he cared? Alexei was silent for awhile, deep in thought. ...Yes. He had cared. Strange.
The grey eyes blink, they looked less cold than normal. "...Da, said happy. Vanted you to be...happy." Alexei's face broke it's normal impassive visage and he looked genuinely confused about what he had just said. His looked straight ahead and repeated himself softly, as if he was having trouble understanding what he had said.
"...Vanted you to be happy..."
He looked back up to Askier again. "...I-I don't-" His face contorted in pain and he fell back onto the floor, clutching his head.
