Gaius is distinctly weird looking but Alloran doesn't dwell on it like he might if he wasn't used to weird aliens. Can't think too much about that, though. If he lets pain show in his eyes or mindsong it will be noticeable and he has to keep this front of strength and confidence. Don't let his side down, etc.]
