Alyxander was still and silent, his head hung. His dark, chocolate brown hair shadowed his eyes and masked the pain that he was in at the moment. His breathing was shallow and quiet, weak to say the least. Never once did he lift his head nor turn his gaze as he heard movement from the front of the warehouse. A quiet groan slipped from his lips as he shifted uneasily, wincing against the chains that held him where he was; hardly necessary when he was in such a harsh condition and so very weak.<br/><br/>"Oh Gods are you alive?"<br/><br/>The boy lift his head a little at the voice, the words laced with honest concern. "Depend o-on your... definition of a-alive." She stuttered quietly, struggling to speak but managing to do so in spite of the agony he was in. He hissed in pain as another wave came crashing down upon him like the tides of the ocean in the midst of a terrible storm. He managed to raise his eyes towards the voice, seeing a girl around his age. 'I must be dreaming.' He thought bitterly. 'Could I have fallen asleep? No, the pain is still here. Then why is such a girl like her here of all places?'<br/>Kate saw it was young man and he was beaten, barely clothes, his body beaten and covered in blood, sinew and dirt. *Gahh.. what do you do to make Malora or Draco do this?* Kate quickly removed the lock with a wave of her hand..she rushed into the cage. Removed her dark blue cloak and placed it over him. She winced seeing his shirt in shreds his back covered with lash marks, bruises and dried blood. His hair was matted and mess of hey and sinue. He reek and she swallows hard. "Don't move or talk. I will get you loose and soon you will be in a warm bed and have hot food."<br/><br/>Kate whispers a few spellwords and the shackles fall the floor. Kate takes out a flask of watered mead and holds to his lips. "Easy now.. slowly drink..it's warmer than your used to." She knew the wine would take the edge off the pain. She placed her hand on his chest over his heart. He feels the mana from her penetrate a heat that spreads through his body. Easing pain that ravaged him. "Don't even try to stand. Eat a bite or two." She hands him apple pieces."
