[She shakes her head, staring at the list of people Susato had produced earlier. There are still five of them missing, so it's possible that Alphinaud isn't among the dead, but...]
Not yet. The most probable answer is that he's with the other missing individuals, but the uncertainty of not knowing is torture.
They're...probably okay. [ By which Rex means "they might well be dead now too" but he knows better than to say that to Alisaie. ] Probably just took a wrong turn at the interdimensional exit, or whatever.
[She gives a little huff of laughter, but it's weak, not truly meant.] It wouldn't be the first time such a thing had happened...
I'll apologize for snapping at you last night in the courtyard. [But also: you kind of deserved it? Just not to that extent. She pauses, then frowns.] Though you might give your words more thought should it happen again.
Oh? [She's going to grab onto this hint of normalcy, something to distract herself from everything else for a moment.] And why is that? Have you any of your own?
Oh yeah, Doc Holiday checked me over and everything. It's like a side effect of my nanites, which can't be removed and there's nothing that can cure 'em, so...I just have to live with it and hope it doesn't happen again.
[ he tries to keep his tone light and casual, but by the end of it, he's...pretty solemn about it and just awkwardly trying not to be. ]

I'd almost rather you did, after my unseemly behavior. Forgive me.

Besides, I'm not in the habit of forgetting brothers. ...if I can help it, anyway.

I mean, I did kinda forget him, but not on purpose. Trust me, I couldn't forget that guy if I tried.
no subject
If you say you couldn't forget him if you tried, how did you then forget him?

...and has a healer examined you to ensure naught is amiss? Amnesia that strikes multiple times without warning isn't normal.
