[Alfred isn't entirely sure why he's here--he knows he's been feeling kind of weird lately, but it's nothing major--and doesn't even realize he's heading toward Ms. Starr's office until he's there, knocking on the door a bit harder than he meant to in his distraction, but not enough to crack the door or anything.]

[a little surprised by the vehemence of that knock, Karen hefts the cat off her knees and goes to open it - she's surprised to see it's Alfred, because she honestly didn't expect to see him outside of Flight class without having to hunt him down.]

... Hi, Al.

[evertosoar]

Hey.

[Alfred smiles, but it's more of an automatic thing; it certainly lacks its usual enthusiasm.]

Can I come in?

[boobwindow]

[she smiles back, sympathetic and a little tired, and steps aside for him to come in]

Of course you can. [she closes the door once he's come inside, and turns back to him, looking kind of concerned] Are you okay?

[evertosoar]

[Alfred flops down into a chair, and for a moment looks like he might be honest. Then he changes his mind, and keeps smiling.] I'm fine. I don't really know why I came over here.

[It's not his best lie.]

aaa sorryy

[boobwindow]

Uhhuh. [she doesn't look convinced, but she doesn't look really annoyed with him about it, either.] Well, you can stay if you like. I don't have any ice cream, but I'm not going to make you talk about your feelings, either.

YOU JERK

[Alfred smiles a little more genuinely, even as he pulls his knees up against his chest.]
