"I'm Alex. Well, Alexander Taavet Seidelmann, but that's way too long and sounds like an old man's name. Nice to meet you, too." He briefly wonders where someone would get seafood around here and if there's an ocean, but those are questions to seek the answers to once he's gotten some relief from the all-too-familiar pain.

He squints in the direction Kinner points to. His first impulse to project himself so the other him can grab it, but the attempt only results in a ghostly flicker of a humanoid shape. There's a point where he can't keep pushing his luck, and it seems like he's reached it, even though in the crowds of the Nexus he'd probably be able to get away with that kind of thing normally. He sighs, glancing over at Kinner to try to subtly check if he'd seen that. When I get back, I'm not telling my Dad about this part.

At least the store isn't far. "I can do it. I don't want to bother you. And it's not the worst headache I've ever had, but it's better to nip these things in the bud." Or at least, that's what his mom said, and at eleven, he's still young enough to trust in her authority on these matters. "We should hurry."
