As Scratch feigns his buddy-buddy body language complete with "friendly" back-patting, Alan considers his earlier restraint regarding his flashlight and decides that with his double invading his personal space fair is fair. He flicks on his flashlight and shines it up at Scratch's face from the hip.

"Don't get cocky." Then he casts the light away from his face and turns the flashlight back off.

He dreads the thought of going to wherever it is that Mister Scratch probably calls home, hoping that they'd be going somewhere public like a bar where the doppelganger would be held accountable for any wild behavior or something. Still, the gauntlet is thrown so he can't back down now.

"Lead the way."
