Zero Hour
Alexander is the first to approach, Dominic soon steps in to enter his comfort zone, his striking range. Alexander is aware of the risks he is taking but in truth, he is not concerned for his life. The subtle reactions the younger Quincy does give are noted, the reaction to Blume's title being mocked, and the stone wall he puts up in the face of everything else. As the two stand before eachother, Alexander has not let down his guard in the slightest. He happily listens to Dominic speak his mind.
"You talk like you know me or somethin’. Talk like you’ve fought me, know what I can do, how strong I really am. You talk to pry for information like you’re lost or somethin’. How can you know so much but so little at the same time? Hm? How come a Quincy as strong as you just suddenly shows up out of nowhere with all these questions? You told me all I needed to know without even knowin’ it."
He does know Dominic. He has fought him, he knows what he can do and how strong he really is. These are all facts, but of course, there is are truths omitted. He seeks information not because he is lost but because it is necessary. To these Quincy, it doesn't matter why Alexander had shown up and why exactly he asked the questions he did, they simply should fall in line and answer to the best of their ability. Dominic had yet to answer one question properly.
Dominic's right leg shifts, while his right arm completely vanishes from perception, the likelihood of the mans fist being propelled straight towards the otherside of Alexander's torso is rather high, but of course, there are many routes he could take. Whether Dominic aimed to slam his fist into Alexander's head with a brutal uppercut, taking advantage of the height difference, or perhaps finding a hook into the side of Alexander's frame to brutalize his internals, or perhaps a simple but lethal jab through his chest would suffice, it didn't matter. That fist would find no contact and Dominic's eyes would not find Alexander, but instead a vibrant azure glow shining to his right side, just within his peripheral vision.
"I thought I just mentioned that I don't want to go through this again, Dominic. You put on a stern, stoic look but you're actions show the complete opposite. Simply answer my questions and you wouldn't have to deal with these troubles."
If Dominic chose to shift his gaze to his right, where Alexander spoke from, he would find the blue glow to be a stationary but spinning blue bullet, a caliber that should only come from the barrel of a sniper rifle. Beyond the bullet stands Alexander, his left arm extended outward and in his hand a firearm resembling a mauser, with a ridiculously long barrel. At arm's length and then firearm's length, Alexander is once again beyond Dominics immediate striking range, even if he chooses to go for a kick instead. Dominic would have to first advance before reaching him.
"Let's try this again, we'll go one by one back through the questions and we'll get a solid answer for them. The sooner we're done, the faster you can either get back to your dear Empress, or perhaps out to save Karakura."
