While Alex isn't surprised by the knocking, she does let out a sigh at it. "I thought we were past this now, Simon." The disappointment in him is evident, but it's not about him listening. Hell, if Alex Reagan had the ability to bilocate then she would probably have done the same thing. No, it's Alex, she definitely would have done the same thing, driven by the same instinct that had turned the talkback mike on when Strand and Amalia were talking in the sound booth. There's no show right now, and Alex is also keenly aware of the fact that here aboard Navi, nothing that they do seems to matter to them getting home. So, she could do that all she wanted if Alex had the ability.

No, this isn't about eavesdropping. Instead Alex's disappointment comes from the fact that he's hiding again. Hiding and knocking rather than actually coming out and having a real conversation over this when it feels so important. The things that Alex had discussed with Strand weren't things that she'd admitted to anyone else for more than one reason. Who here, after all, would know what it might have meant for Alex to have had a Tall Paul in her childhood? Who here would know the reasons that the thought terrified the hell out of her? Yes, Alex has had multiple partners here but she also hadn't told them about it or wanted to discuss it with them.

Letting out a frustrated sigh, Alex just draws herself up to her full (but short) stature and decides to head for his room. Of course as soon as she learned that Simon was aboard, she'd learned where he lives, and immediately takes the lift up to the fourth floor.
