The APL had been nodding along, as Hades began to explain the living situation. That was certainly not a question that had been asked on the survey, if the potential User lived alone or with others, but it was pretty vital information, all things considered. He concluded that it would have to remedied on future surveys.
As Alpha stored the names of the other housemates safely away into his memory, the other voice interrupted Hades, and grabbed his attention. His ears shifted into an obviously alert position, as he turned to face the direction from which the voice had come. When the other man, Gires, as Hades introduced him as, walked in, the APL's eyes shifted up and down him, taking in his appearance, before tilting his head to one side.
Many things ran through his head, so to speak, at that moment. Was this man sick? Was he human or something else? Did human standards apply to him? What was he to his User? Then again, what was Marava to his User? Should he introduce himself? That was proper etiquette, so that should probably happen, but he was also more curious about the other things.
In the end, more than one thing poured out of his mouth. His head moved back up right and he smiled slightly at Gires. "Hello, I am Alpha," he gave a slight nod of his his head in greeting, but nothing more than that. "What are you?" He thought to maybe greet him by waving or offering to shake his hand, but wasn't really interested in either.
Without even considering to wait to hear an answer from Gires, though, his gaze shifted back to Hades. There were more pressing matters. "And what is he to you?" It was rather obvious what Alpha meant, exactly, by that. According to the data, Hades had previous relationships, so Alpha wanted to know if Gires fell into that category; if that was the case, he wasn't sure how he felt about that.
