"It's not that I'm confused exactly..." Alyxander began, then cut off. He wasn't sure how he felt right now... upset, hurt, lonely... "I just have a lot of things on my mind and I need to get them straightened out. It's not your fault, Kate." He gently ruffled her hair, smiling despite the turmoil in his thoughts. "You are doing all that you can to keep me safe and well. Your company is all I need to keep my spirits up. I enjoy your company, as you make me feel accepted for once. Like I can be myself without being judged. You presence comforts me more than anything else could."
