Some of the lights further down the hall flicker off, as if still persistently trying to warn her away. She's right, he doesn't want to scare her, this certainly isn't intentional and if he could bottle it all back up by force he certainly would. But Alex made the choice to barge down his hallway and now she had to see for herself some of what he was.
He really wished she wouldn't.
But... they should talk, he supposes, and if she's going to insist on being stubborn about it he'll try not to make it actively worse. The whole chilling, oppressive feeling doesn't exactly lift but the lights that had flickered off in warning do noisily buzz back to life, coupled with the sound of a door sliding quietly open further down the hallway. The most she's going to get in the way of a warm welcome right now, he's afraid.
