[Ivan hadn't noticed who he was talking to because of the dim lighting of the theater. He recognizes the voice, though, even though he's barely interacted with Alex. Face to face, though, Ivan knows for certain who he's dealing with. His eyes fly open in surprised, but they quickly become guarded as he tries to cover up his own folly.]

[He has to shake off the urge to go into a barrage of questions. What's the point in asking Alex why he's here? They're all more-or-less stuck in the same situation, after all. And they're both watching a movie. It would be pointless. And nothing can be done about his plans on Weyard. At least not at the moment.]

Those sort of things happen. It's less painful for everyone to just accept them and move on instead of dwelling.
