[Even though Rex is not privy to that information, it seems like whatever happened is going to require some time to work out for the kid.]

[Rex kneels down so he's a bit more level with the boy...]

Need some time, huh? I getcha.

You look like you could use a friend, though. Maybe someone to hang out with you until that Alfred guy you're waiting on gets here.

[Forgive him for not being super chatty right now.]

[He nods, deciding to stay.]

So what's your name, amigo? Mine's Rex.
