[There's concern evident in Alex's face, and it's etched all over it. The dog just looks to him and then back to Alex before he chuffs softly and gingerly and very politely sniffs the man's hand before giving it a little bit of a lick. It's the Apophenia form of the hug that Alex very much wants to give him, because jesus he looks like he needs it.
Normally Alex wouldn't ask, but today she does, that concern even more obvious in her voice than it is is in her expression. All of this is a lot and Alex knows it and she can't imagine going through all of that with someone who was basically his brother. Forming it not quite as a question, even if the lilt of it is there in her voice Alex just offers softly:]
I think you really could use a hug and a drink right now.
[And then she's just going to wait for him to either let her give him one or to refuse it.]
