[Normally, Alec wouldn't broadcast video to whoever had their phone on, but he needs to ask as many people as possible about the friend he picked up while patrolling the night before. It takes him a few seconds for the camera to focus properly. When it does, Alec can be seen holding a very large tabby patterned ball of fluff.]

Did anyone lose a cat? I found him last night curled up in an alley. He looked like he'd been outside for a few days and is eating like he hasn't been fed regularly.

[He can't quite hide the disapproval in his tone. If someone did this to the poor cat intentionally, Alec is not going to be pleased.]

If he's yours, I'll return him. If not, my family would like to keep him.

Well, ya know what they say about seein' the good in yourself. S'why others are around to tell ya what you don't see. And son, I say what you're doin' is pretty damn noble. [He was quite sure his ma would say so, too.] It's alright to look up to your family, but don't let it make you feel less.

Doctors all take an oath on confidentiality. [If anything, that surprises him. Far as he knew, all doctors did and always had. Alec's world couldn't be that different now could it?] And that right there... that's malpractice. Messin' with memories is just wrong. Morally wrong and ethically.

[That sounded awful to him. Any self respecting doctor would do no such thing.]

Prejudice can and does run deep. And sometimes gettin' away is a good thing. Where I'm from, pretty much anything is accepted. Pretty open minded and all. Earth's been through hell, no point makin' more of a mess now that we've rebuilt.

[A soft chuckle escaped at that thought.] Hell would freeze over 'fore I told 'im that for that very reason.
