Alyxander nodded in agreement. "Being polite and kind usually gets you pretty far with most people." He answered. He winced at the mention of his parents, but tried to hide it as to not worry Kate. "I'm sorry to hear of your loss. No doubt she was a fair and gentle queen, and sweet-natured as you are." He listened to the rest without answering, thoughts in the back of his mind returning by having to bring up his parents... he'd already had to say too much about them... when it wasn't the full truth. Alyx managed a gentle smile as Kate left to get changed into her nightclothes and laid back as he stared up at the ceiling. Bits of memory flashed within his mind, and he tried to push them away. The thoughts were beyond painful, and he hated having to remember his past... he'd rather have it beat of him by Lady Malora and her husband than to have to remember it.
