"Queen of HEARTS."
Shrugging a bit, he sat himself down on the ground, not much minding the sticks and leaves.
"...Oh, just out for a stroll. It was getting much too loud back at the Duplex, with all the yelling...terribly irritating, really." He waved a hand.
"But what to expect, hm? It's like that all the time these days. If it's not one, it's another. Only Julian and the Mock Turtle are quiet."

"Ah see." He responded to Julian's reiteration, figuring the guy liked to give people nicknames or something. Who knew.
Alec nodded. "Ye." He agreed for the sake of agreeing, honestly thinking that the duplexes were always sort of quiet, recently much more so. Ah well, maybe he was a prude too. "Th' girleh above me is fookin silent. Ou's Julian?" He didn't recall ever meeting a 'Julian' before.

"Julian?"
He blinked, fiddling with his pocketwatch. "...Ah, right, you wouldn't have met him. Would you like to? I could get him. He could use the fresh air and company, I do suppose...poor boy has been so...reclusive."
His grin went wider, his bright eyes trained on Alec.

Alec shrugged, having no quams against meeting someone else. Maybe he'd be less creepy than this Cheshire guy?
"Ye sure." He nodded, motioning to the catman. "'e in 'is duplex?"

"No, no. No need to go so far."
Chuckling to himself, he made sure he was in a comfortable position. "...Nice meeting you...."
And with that, his head lolled forward, and he was out cold, ears drooping and tail going limp.

Alec looked towards the duplex, then back at Cheshire. "Huh? Uh ye, same t'you." He chuckled a bit though his brow raised when he watched the cat boy seemingly fall asleep. "Uh..." He looked in the direction of the duplexes, to Cheshire, and back again several times before taking a step forward.
"Y'ok?" He arched an eyebrow and inched closer, leaning over to try and peer at his face. "uh.... 'e...'ello?" Hesitantly he reached his arm out closer and closer, almost afraid to touch the boy's shoulder. Was he sick?

...And soon enough, his eyes have a little blink, slowly sliding his gaze up to Alec. His smile was considerably more meek, all of a sudden - his ears flattened against his head.
"...Ah...."
His voice was so different from Cheshire's - much more feeble. "...Er...."
He hated these situations. What could he say?

Alec jerked his hand away, straightening his back quickly to create a distance between the two. "Oh. Ye alrigh'." He gave the boy a weird look, wondering what had gotten into him. "S'ye wanna go get ye friend?"

"...My...friend? What?" Julian gave a nervous little smile.
"...Ah...what are you talking about? Or...should I say who?"
Of course, Julian didn't remember meeting Alec, which is why he was so perplexed. He also looked very weak and tired...but that was normal lately.

Alec wrinkled his brow, though he couldn't help but laugh. "Ye friend? Julian? We were g'na go get'em?" He started to laugh a little harder, motioning in the direction of the duplexes as he still believed that was where Julian was. "Ye got... tha' mem'ry... f'gettin... thing?" He was staarting to get really confused now.

"...Oh."
He looked down, trying to figure out a tactful way of explaining.
"...No...you see...I'm...Julian. If I was...grinning before this...that was Cheshire."
He grimaced.
"...My...alter ego."

Alec stared. Just. Stared.
"No... ye Ch'shire." He slowly began, feeling like a headache was imminent after this was all sorted out. A moment of silence feel between the two while it seemed Alec was busy disputing this in his own mind. Cheshire, but Julian. Grinning and not? It didn't help that he didn't quite get the "alter ego" idea very well.
"Ye like callin yeself names o' somethin?"

"...No...I'm Julian...."
He sighed. It seemed...Alec wasn't getting it.
"...Er...are you familiar with...split personalities?" The words left a bad taste in his mouth. He grimaced. "...You see people with them in books and movies, sometimes...."

Alec blinked slowly, taking in the concept. "Ohhhh..." He finally sighed, nodding a few times in succession. How could he be so calm with something like that? Wasn't it like having an alien in your head telling you what to do?
"Are ye g'na kill me?" The teen blurted out as he pointed to Julian, narrowing his eyes slyly. The look on his face was quite different than when "Cheshire" was talking, he also seemed a lot quieter and spoke simply. No more Queen of Turtles, or whatever. He quickly dismissed his own question and moved on.
"Sorreh... Did th' Doc make ye li' tha?"

"Kill you? Why would I...?" He blinked, struggling to try and get to his feet. Still, when Alec apologized, he calmed a bit, though his hands still searched out the nearest tree to help him get up.
"...That's...sort of complicated. I think...maybe...the serum caused it...but I don't think it was on purpose."
He didn't seem comfortable with the arrangement.
