"They aren't glitches. They're real." Alcide is quick to say, if just because he needs to believe that and maybe Buffy needs to believe that too. Her sister Dawn is as real as they are, as real as this is, as real as anything is real, just like Alcide's life back home is. For all the indoctrination of this place, Alcide will never buy that his life back home is a glitch.
He sits back against the foot of the bed and regards Buffy. "I got an older sister, Janice. She's... always all up in my business and protective of me the way older siblings are. She owns a hair salon and will probably be pissed at me when I don't come in for a haircut on time."
It's almost a subconscious move to push his hand back through his dark locks just then.
"Let's see... somethin' about myself. I owned my own construction company. Herveaux Contracting." He says. "My pops ran it into the ground, was in dept up to his ears when he handed it over to me. I got it out of debt and we're doin' pretty good now... or we were."
