[ alex can't pretend to understand what rose is on about at first, a secret she's keeping from a friend maybe? it's hardly any of his business anyway, and he might as well take advantage of this moment to give his poor ankle a break.
as she goes on though? his nose wrinkles a bit. a strangely muted sign of distaste considering his next question is: ] That's not a thing we have to worry about here, is it? Soylent Green?
[ mentally, he makes a note to stick to more explicitly organic food products for the next while, just in case. and to ask the sales clerks about any possible gmo's, because it's hardly unreasonable for him to be a bit leery of them at this point. he still hasn't entirely ruled out that desmond mccain isn't somehow involved in all of this. ]
... what sort of codename? [ he adds, practically as an afterthought. it's probably nothing, or nothing important to him, at least, if paradoxes are truly involved, but at this point his paranoia is far too deeply ingrained to ignore. ]
sorry for the wait!
