"Yeah, I can't say I blame her," Alex admitted. "Be sitting in a room and no one knows you're there? That has to suck."

"Well, if by 'just fine' you mean blobs of fluorescent color."

"Although I guess that if she had the option of wearing clothes and being visible, that's what she'd be doing," Alex reasoned. "So yeah. ANyway!"
