Alyxander smiled and gently kissed Kate's hand in a polite and friendly way; a manner that he had often seen suitors act towards their ladies. To him, it was a sweet and generous action; and a very honest one at that. It proved fondness without words. "Goodnight, Kate." Reika watched the scene from where she sat, her eyes darting from the happy look on Alyxander's face to the reluctance that Kate showed at first to leaving his side to rest. It was more and more obvious that the two were indeed very tight-knit with one another. But she refused to let herself become jealous. Her feelings for Alyx were not as a lover, nothing more than a tiny crush; more of a sibling-like relationship. She knew how he felt about her, and kept to herself about thoughts otherwise. Ruining their friendship was the last thing she ever wanted.<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>The two had fallen asleep not long after Kate had left. Reika was curled up on the cot next to Alyx, not taking up much room. Alyxander had woken up after a few hours though, and was sitting on the cot, stroking Reika's hair tenderly. The noise from outside was quite loud, but still the poor exhausted girl didn't stir; which he was glad for, as she needed her sleep. His skin was already less pale and there was no trace of pain in his eyes any longer. He seemed perfectly healthy already. Alyx glanced towards the front of the tent as he heard movement, smiling as he saw it was Kate. "Shh, don't wake her." He whispered. "Though if the ruckus outside hasn't awoken her, no doubt you will not." He shifted slightly on the bed, but didn't get up just yet. "As for me, I am fine. Just as I said I would."<br/><br/>((I am leaving soon too, will be back later as well. Hope you have a nice time))
