"Can you tell me what you're doing here?" Alex casually inquired of the person sitting next to him.
Suddenly, an excited brilliance burst forth from the man's eyes when he saw Alex standing behind him. He quickly suppressed his emotions and said, despite his best efforts, "We are waiting for you," in a trembling voice despite his best efforts to keep it under control.
"Why are you waiting for me?"
"We're waiting for you to come and save us." The gentleman responded. In addition to being filled with excitement, his eyes appeared to be a little more pious, just as a believer would be when confronted by the gods in which he had placed his confidence.
