Alyxander gently stroked Reika's hair, in a sweet and caring way. Similar to how an older brother would treat a younger sister; a sibling-like relationship.Seeing her again, safe now and still alive, made him happier than he'd been in a long time... though when he was with Kate, it was a different kind of happy. A different feeling entirely. And he didn't know what it was, but would sooner or later find out. At the moment, his mind was only on Reika.<br/><br/>Reika shifted slightly, sighing and moving her head slightly towards his touch. "K-Kate." She whispered, thinking it was the mage who was sitting beside her. Alyx didn't answer right away, fearing Reika had slipped into nightmares again and was frightened. "Kate." There was no fear in her voice, just curiosity. Alyxander smiled a bit. "Not Kate." He whispered, playing a bit of a game. "Try again." Everything was quiet for a moment, but it didn't take long. "Alyxander." Her eyes fluttered open and looked up at him with a happy, partially surprised sparkle. Alyx smiled down at her. "Did I ruin your perfect dream, Reika?" He asked softly. The girl shook her head. "I'd rather wake up to this reality." Came her honest reply. "Why are you here? How?" "Kate came to check up on me, I woke up and asked to come see you." He answered quietly. " wanted to make sure you are still okay." "I'm fine... better than okay, with you here."<br/><br/>Alyxander smiled and leaned down to kiss Reika on the forehead. He stopped part way, catching shadows on the outside of the tent. "What's wrong-" Reika asked, but Alyxander gently quieted her. "Hush, hush. Something's not right." The blonde haired girl glanced around, a bit on edge, and scared as she too noticed the shadows. 'Something is very, very wrong here.'
