Alex truthfully couldn't imagine a worse place to be. At least the cage of the dome had Sal's and Frank's. He didn't want to push Sabrina too much though. Being faced with an inquisition as soon as she landed could hardly be on the top of her wishlist. It was the Institute way though - but hey, it could be above his paygrade. "That's right," he warmed to her, "and we're in desperate need of some fun."
"Maybe I could help." He offered, hoping he wouldn't regret it later. "I-," he had to choose his words carefully, "I knew the them, somewhat. That Institute is gone now." The existence of the Institute 2.0 was hardly a secret amongst Havensdale inhabitants. She'd find out sooner or later, and he might as well try to paint them in the good light they mostly deserved. "There's a new operation. A different one. A part of what some refer to as the Resistance. They're good." He conveniently substituted 'we' for 'they', feeling like maybe admitting his part in it right now might now be the best idea considering where she'd been for the past decades. "Do you, I dunno, want to get a drink? I think that's where we left off all that time ago."
Sabrina didn't enjoy reliving her experiences with the Institute. Being a vampire had always been fun for her before the last few decades, and she wanted to feel that way again. Maybe running into Alex was fate trying to help her with that. "I am sure you are, darling." She looked around the town. "This place's vibe is down."
"I am sure you could." Sabrina appreciated it. She wasn't exactly sure she could trust Alex, they had only known each other briefly. She listened to him talk about some new form of the Institute. Not much of what he was saying was making sense. A lot had happened in this town over the years that much was clear, and she wasn't going to react until she knew more. "All I would say is be careful, especially if anyone from the Institute is involved they are great liars." She smiled at the offer. "I believe you are right. I can buy the first round since I stood you up."
