The statement about Strand not being her type made Alex break out into laughter. She couldn't help it. It was big and it was pleased, because well, "honestly, Dr. Richard Strand with his three phDs from Yale including one in being an asshole couldn't be more my type if he was actually made for me." Yes, there's teasing in her voice, but she's also being quite serious in it as well. "I've always had a thing for older partners with amazing voices and mysterious backgrounds to go along with everything else." Look, Alex was always the sort of girl who'd get crushes on her professors, and more than once two of her friends had addressed her 'Daddy issues.' Alex Reagan knew what her brand was, and liking (and later loving) Richard Strand was definitely on brand for her.
"I mean, it's definitely not at all great that I fell for the subject of my show, and if I had the choice, I may not have done it, but honestly? I've been in love with him for way longer than I would have admit at one point, but now I can't deny it. I mean, yeah, he definitely is a complete ass sometimes," often. The word Alex should probably be using here is often, actually, but she doesn't need to say it, Richard himself would, and had on his friendr where anyone could see it. "But he definitely has reasons to be. Loads of them." Alex had already talked to Peter about back home, so she doesn't feel at all bad for doing it again now. There's a beat and a broad and fond grin. "What can I say, he's my Scully."
