<span style="font-style: italic">"If you turn dark and show your fangs to me; I will use everything in my power to fight you. I will not allow anyone to use silver on you. I will do what I can to get you to a safe place where you can be held until you are ready to come home. If we need make this room more suited to keep you safe, let me know. Do you have anything that could harm you should you be in darkness and wish to do harm to yourself or others?</span><br/><br/>Alyxander was comforted to know that Kate would not just let him harm her, and would fight back if need be. That gave him a bit more comfort in this. He was calmer by then, much more in control, though still upset. "Silver, garlic, holy water, too much sunlight... those are the most common enemies of a vampire. There are a few others, like wood; if I am hit in the heart with silver or wood it would kill me." When she asked him if he had any weapons he could use to do himself harm, or to cause a threat to others, he looked down. He sheathed the knife he had intended using earlier and set it aside. "That is the only weapon I know of, other than my own strength. I have promised not to do myself any harm, and I shall stay true to my word."<span style="font-style: italic">"Tell me what I can expect to happy if you so did turn? Alyx, I have never been around vampires under their powers."</span>The young male thought for a moment, then answered quietly. "Vampires are strong even when they have not lost their control. With me, I don't know how I act, but I begin to feel weak seconds before my other side takes control. It is like I am gone until it lets me go again; and when I awake I always have caused suffering and pain... so much suffering and pain." A tear streaked down his face, one eyes crying blood the other crying human tears now. The worst of the effects were wearing off at that point. "I am undoubtedly violent when I lose my control, but have no sense of pain or emotion; if I were to be hurt in that state, only when I awoke would I feel the pain." A moment of silent thought passed by before Kate spoke again.<span style="font-style: italic">"Did you harm yourself?"</span>Alyx shook his head. " 'Tis merely a scratch on my neck, and the blood is from my crying. My tears turn to blood when I have fed from a human or human-like creature. 'Tis a terrible thing, I hate it."
