"As do I, my lady." Alyxander answered, smiling. His formality was a discrete form of endearment, something others would only think of as manners. He wanted to know Kate, to really know her, to know about her... there was much he had yet to find out. But he was not impatient, and would let her warm up to him slowly; trust was to be earned, not just gained. "I shall try to rest, should it come. Doubtful I am of of that, but what may come will come. I don't really need sleep." He smiled at her as she turned to leave, laying down and pulling the blanket to him. "Until next time, Kate." He murmured as she stood in the opening to his tent. "I will await your return, as you have awaited my own."<br/><br/>Alyx gave Kate one last smile before she finally left, sighing and laying down. A few minutes passed, leaving him just staring off at the fabric ceiling of his shelter, eyes open, barely blinking. His mind was too busy, he had much to think about. What was he to do about Reika? Could she tell anyone else of their connection, or still act like she was just a prisoner? Though a harmless one at that, she couldn't hurt anyone if her life depended on it. It wasn't in her nature, and never had been. Eventually, Alyxander began to sleep a bit, though not too deeply. His wandering mind and thoughts always seemed to return to Kate though, at times like this. She was his comfort when there was none other than her.<br/><br/>Reika too had fallen asleep where she had been left, though it was a restless and uneasy sleep. She tossed and turned, mumbling at times and seeming distraught. Who knew what was going through her mind still. She couldn't help being on edge and scared still, she was still in very real danger. And there was no one coming to rescue her; she would have to rely on Alyxander, if he was who he claimed to be... or who she thought he was. Rolling onto her left side, she whimpering quietly. "No... Please, don't make me do this..." She whispered, mumbling frantically, tossing onto her other side again. Another whine. "Stop... please, stop!" Her voice was raising a bit, her tossing becoming more frantic. More whines and cries rose from where she lay, having long since knocked the blankets off of her with her struggling.
