Alex is always going to Alex, but she's also going to do it in more of the way of her being reckless and staring into the void and the like. What she's also going to do is to go into his bathroom and find a washcloth. Letting the water run as cold as she could, she put the cloth under the water and then wrung it out before she headed back over to him and put the cloth against his forehead. She doesn't hold it there, instead stepping back and leaving it on him because Alex knows how much migraines suck (it happens pretty regularly because of her lack of sleep and overreliance on caffeine to keep her still somewhat functional.)

"You know I was going to come anyway, Simon." Because she knows that he knows that. Simon knows Alex and she's going to do the stupid thing pretty much every time, even if other's don't think it's the right thing. More often than not (by a fair amount, actually) Alex tended to be right, and at the moment she has some suspicions as to why that happens to be true. It's all tied up in her thought that she was connected to the story in ways that she'd not been aware of before and the fact that whatever they were keeping her safe for, it was to sacrifice her around the finding of the Axis Mundi or whatever.

But as much as Alex wants answers (in general about the story, yes, but definitely more specific about her role in it) she's also very much herself and the look on his face worries her. "Have you tried one of those pills you pocketed from the infirmary?"
