[Alec, also in the up, is in a t-shirt with a jacket over it. Not a lot of luxury despite his designation, mostly because even with a love of excess he's not used to it.

Meeting him face to face was a joke, more of a gotcha than anything else, but now that he's actually looking at the guy he has to confront how weird it all really is.]

I feel like if one of us gets into trouble, both of us might end up paying the price.

[Sure, their friends might be able to peg it and the differences are clear even to him - but people that don't know them? Law enforcement? Alec's guess is as good as his. It's not like this place hasn't made its share of mistakes.]

Maybe if you get a haircut.

( But he's got the Dean in his twenties lip pursing down pat. )

I'm good. After a lifetime of crew cuts, I'm okay with it getting messy. Maybe I'll try for the whole boy band thing.

Your choice if you want to be a Backstreet Boy.

( it will not be easy to see you with Backstreet Boy hair, because that is lowest common denominator music, child. )

Not sure I'd fit the part, but the point is - my hair my head. Your hair, your head.

[Same head, sort of, but on different shoulders. Gesturing doesn't feel necessary.]

Maybe the city will recognize it. Maybe, for both of our sakes, we don't get into trouble to test our resemblance out.

( Chances are, Dean will get into trouble eventually, but he'd rather it be later. And he doesn't know or trust Alec. He can ask, anyway. )

I've stayed under the radar so far, it's been months. How long have you been here?

One month.

( Exactly.

Here, if you fulfill your quota and don't ruffle any feathers, radar won't catch you. )

Did you sign a contract?

Welcome to the show.

I did, actually, but she went missing or got sent home? I'm not really sure how it works. Better if it's the latter.

Now my time's started over.

Or got sent home? There isn't a way you can check? Know she isn't being held captive by Rubies?

( Say you did more due dilligence. )

Her stuff's gone, I've checked up on the network and it says she was sent back. That doesn't mean I trust anything from this place.

All signs point to the better alternative, but that doesn't mean I'm high on the percentage for certainty. There's no real way to follow up on that. If you find out a better way to do reconnaissance, be my guest.

Her name was Hermione.
