Alaxander followed Max closely to his room. Jumping whenever the boards creaked yet was happy to seemingly have a friend in his cousin. He looked at him. "Bella is a pretty name." He shook his head. "Maybe but I'm a very big scaredy cat." He says in a shakey voice. He looked at the large tank and looked at him. "Like Flora is friendly?" He asked. Trying to make a logical connection to ease his mind some. He looked at him. "Okay." He jumped at the size of the tarantula. "Wow...she is a big girl but she is a pretty color." He gets out in a meek voice. Grimacing like a girl when the large insects are thrown into the tank. "She seems nice." He says softly. Getting closer to the tank but still hangs back. "Your the first person to ever wanna play with me Max. Back home I was always made fun of...cuz I feel I'm a girl in a boys body. Than even more cuz I'm such a scaredy cat." He looked at him. "Having someone who accepts me and still wants to play with me means the world to me...so thank you." He spoke shyly.<br/><br/>He looked at him in shock. "How can you sleep on a bed of nails? Doesn't that hurt you?" He asked in confusion and worry. He hadn't really looked around the room but when he did he pressed in close to his cousin. "Well...it is rather...um....interesting. A tiny bit scary but it is cool other than those two things." He says in a timid voice. He followed Max and watched him grab some toy guns. Taking the one handed to him. Running after Max down a spiral stair case. "Okay. I wouldn't know why either than." He says with a light giggle. Max made him feel like he was an okay person. Took away some of the depression no one really has noticed he had a lot of. Some but it would be a while before it would be a lot. For a second his tummy made a sound but it was gone soon.<br/><br/>He hesitated than watched as he turned on the light switch leading down into the basement. He followed closely donw the stairs into the basement. He let out a sound that indicated he was scared but didn't run. Just pressed in close to his cousin. He was guessing they were close in age. He looked into the dark area and bit his lip. Watching the light make it still dark and kinda spooky. He still held onto his toy gun. He looked at Max again. "What do you mean? I guess we can so long as I'm not seeking ghosts." He says honestly. Looking around. "It kinda spooky but lets play." He says in a soft voice.
