Simon had come in to see about maybe buying some cheap second hand clothes now that his wardrobe was proving severely unsuitable for the island's current location.
But what he really ended up doing was sort of looking quizzical at all of Alexander's maps and notes. "What are you doing?"

Alexander had been following some minute line in suggestion of perhaps a secret water trench on a map so closely that he hadn't even noticed someone had come in until the other boy said something. It made him jump, just a little, fearing for a second for his life and then marveling at how he'd let himself slip into carelessness lately.
Of course, the fact that the other boy was just probably a newer student and not some menacing evil tyrant magician intent on killing him at a minor slip-up (that he knew of) just made him wonder if the growing carelessness was somewhat of a good sign.
"Oh!" he said. "Hello! I didn't---er, um, well, they're maps," he offered. "And notes and things, from the Alexandria library...."
A faint blush started to creep over Alexander's face. "Nothing of too much...er...importance." And he cleared his throat. "Is there something I could help you with?"

"I didn't mean to startle you," Simon replied, apologetically. He knew he had a tendency to walk quietly. Even without invisibility. "I-- I was hoping to find some clothes?"
