Alyxander tried to make this whole scene as normal and hidden as possible. He wanted no trouble and feared it would cause a stir if he was found out to be a vampire. Luckily it was obvious that almost all who had noticed his peculiar drink had mistaken it for tomato juice. An easy mistake, but good fortune for him. However, he knew he wouldn't be able to get it past Kate's father, as he caught the slight glare out of the corner of his eyes. Had the man never known that vampires could not survive without blood? It was their main source of nutrients, and most couldn't eat real food without it; otherwise it would create imbalance and cause the vampire to become ill. Then again, how was one to know of such a thing if he was not a vampire himself?<br/><br/>When Kate mentioned him being trained at the start of the next week, Alyx smiled a bit. He was very eager to learn the ways of a guard and a soldier, anything to keep him from being a servant like he had been before. No doubt it may bring up memories he'd long since buried. The mention of shopping and being taken out to be fitted for outfits weren't as exciting, but the idea of being shown around the town sparked interest in him. He nodded to Kate's father as he spoke. "I don't think that shall be a problem, sir. I should be fine and fit as ever by the end of the day. A little bit more rest and my strength would have returned in earnest."
