It's another very human gesture, offering his hand like that, and paired with the very normal name, 10K barely thinks about it before offering his own hand. Still no tingle from the danger sense, after all, and this guy's stuck here like the rest of them, judging by his scrubs. He should be friendly.
"I'm Ten Thousand," he says, shaking Alec's hand. "My friends call me 10K." It's the kind of name that implies a story behind it, not that it matters much, here. "Guess I can't blame you. People don't always do real well with different. I mean--I guess that's never bothered me too much. And you aren't trying to eat me, so that's always reassuring." It's only half a joke. The last guy he'd seen that looked anything at all like this one was trying to eat them all, starting with Murphy. That guy hadn't started out a plant, either, and the question pops out before he can quite stop it.
"I'm not trying to pry, Mr. Holland, but--I mean, that's a pretty normal name, and you talk pretty normal, too. Did you always look like that, or...?"
