He should have just kept walking, really. Kovacs being naked was weird, but hell, his head was pounding and the whole station seemed to be going a bit nuts, so he was willing to just let it be a thing that existed in his general direction.

Until he saw who he was with.

A little irritable feeling at the back of his skull made him click his tongue. He was probably bothering Bobbie, giving her a hard time or generally being an ass, and she could really do without. So he started over towards them, just to catch the last of their conversation, and then he slowed significantly.

Oh.

Oh he might have completely misread this situation.

But he was in it, now. And for some reason he didn't feel bad about interrupting. "Did you need to borrow a shirt, cowboy?"

Even that came out more irritable than he meant to, but damn it, even Alex had eyes. The man's muscles had muscles.
