Alek pinches the bridge of his nose and inwardly sighs, before he trots on after her. The truth of the matter is, he doesn't need nice. It's not like he's very nice himself, in case she hadn't noticed it already. But there's a softie inside of him that knows she isn't going to figure it out by herself. She'd have to ask someone else, and not everyone can be trusted in Chicago. He can't in good conscience allow a newbie to go off on their own without knowing what she needs to know.
Even one with claws, metaphorically or literally.
"Look, my last name obviously offends you, but there are things you need to know. And you can listen without ripping out my jugular, or you can try figuring it out by yourself, but I can promise you you'll run into a wall and not everyone here can be trusted."
