If Alex was tense before, he's nothing sort of a coiled spring now, ready to go off at the slightest provocation. His jaw tightens as his mind races, trying to place if maybe, maybe he's met this man before and the issues with his mind are causing him trouble - but if such is the case, he can't place it.
