Alyxander smiled a little bit more, happy that Kate was so sweet and kind to him. He had never known such gentleness in his entire life. "No doubt you wouldn't let me out of my room until Winterfest if it meant I had to do work." He teased lightly. "I will rest until after the holiday is done, then I will work as I should be doing right now. I won't be a burden and just lounge around like a king, as I am far from such. I will do my best at the tasks assigned to me and will serve you and your family as best as I am capable of." It sounded like a genuine promise, and he truly meant it; he was going to repay ate for her kindness by working his hardest. She deserved at least that much in return for all of this. "I know I will enjoy my time here, and everything that is in store in the days ahead. I'm looking forward to all of what you've said, as it will be new for me and therefore exciting. When it comes to dancing, though... I might want to warn you, I'm quite clumsy. I don't know how well I'd do at dancing." He felt silent for a moment when Kate mentioned the last part. "Now that you mention it, I am a bit hungry."
