(Got to answer this one OOCly. Alex will -not- discuss his feelings so openly. Not unless you are someone he trusts. He doesn’t trust a lot of people.

For Alex is depends on who he just killed and why. The more personal the kill the more he suffers for it. There are many kills he doesn’t think twice about. Killing doesn’t often bother him. It’s a part of life. The strong survive and the weak die.

Though if it is like the Slavers he was hunting the other week… That was a little more personal because he ended up friending Virae. The Slavers were tied to ones who had abused her. It hit a little too close to home for Alex. He was angry and hurt. It reminded him too much of his own past and that left him reeling a bit. It left him feeling very raw and vulnerable. Which makes him seem hostile and cold to even friends because he doesn’t like to be seen as weak.)
