Alec was of the mind that he didn't vocalize when things were good because that meant they were inevitably going to get worse sooner rather than later. He didn't like to tempt fate even if fate was something he wasn't sure he believed in.
Happiness was one of those things that he also didn't have a lot of experience with. He could be happy with his family and he could be happy when he was hunting but it tended to be fleeting and brief. Then, he'd come back to reality and realize that he wasn't happy and he wasn't going to be happy because of who he was. He'd accepted that and was resigned to it.
"You probably won't have to wait too long in this place," Alec noted because he was always a ray of sunshine. He could appreciate that Reid was happy and content but he didn't think that would last. Something was always out there, whether mundane, Downworlder or demon that would try to ruin that careful balance. "Just be prepared for that to happen."
