Alexander giggles, flashing a pair of fangs in their amusement. When Rialto appears at their side, they reach up to tug at the end of his ponytail, amusement still clear on their face. "A compliment indeed. Do you flirt with all strangers like this, mister?" They turn back to Jikai, a teasing lilt in their voice. This was all fun and games, of course. Alexander and Rialto together was never anything else. They snort at their friend's butchery of their town's name, shooting him an unimpressed raised eyebrow. "You're in San Creado. Looks like this guy is still waking up."

They wait for Rialto to pull Jikai to his feet before they straighten up themself, hands going to their hips. Well, this guy was a bit bossy, wasn't he? Didn't he know he was questioning two creatures that could easily snap him in half? Alex hums under their breath, deciding whether or not they really wanted to help this guy. It was amusing to see the stranger struggle through all of this, but Marko had ordered that they be more civil to newcomers, so - "I'm Alexander. It's quiet around here because all of the humans have gone to sleep. It should get more lively in about thirty minutes or so. The vampires are still waking up." They explain. A smirk lifts up their lips when they hear Jikai's heartbeat pick up, burgundy eyes flickering in interest. Oh, no. Was this little human scared? This situation was suddenly a lot more fun.

Their attention moves to the snake curled around the man's shoulders, instinctively taking a step back. Animals never seemed to react well to them, and they didn't want a reptile attacking them because it decided they had weird vibes, or whatever animals sensed about other creatures.
