A few other that worked with the young teen nudged and looked at him a bit with smiles or raised mug. They knew rarely spoke and if he did it was only a few words. The male simply nods to Alyx and looked back at his plate and quietly eats. Kate was quiet. Lyons looks at the younger teen surprised the boy spoke. "Well said both of you. Alyx, everyone here has a mentor and you may teach young Cory as I am sure he can share his cooper skills with you. I will see that you continue your education. You speak well and oration is a good skill that needs to developed. Captain Alyx will not be a soldier. I will not have this talent compromised in battle."<br/><br/>The hours is passed and we have tree to chop. Alyx you will remain indoors until later this afternoon. I have been told you have a sensitivity to sunlight. That is not tomato juice you are drinking. Katherine, are you aware you have been harboring a vampire? I see not his reflection in the mirror behind me. Is that correct?" Lyons was not angry..he spoke mater of factly. The others in the room were suddenly nervous and tail and ears were twitching and all eyes were on Alyx.<br/><br/>Kate looked at her father and placed her arm around Alyx, "You speak truth. I did not want to raise suspicions or have any ill will toward Alyxander. He was given to me as a gift from Aunt Malora. He was starved beaten and collared. His full ability has been taken from him for many years. I tell you he could have easily mistrusted me at our first meeting and fed from me. He did not and he has not shown any cause for mistrust. He is a Vampire...he is not evil or malicious. Cast away any myths and get to know him. I studied little about vampires and most of what we know is myth. I have learned much about him. He has a heartbeat and a soul. The only thing you may fear about him is his fighting talents. I caution anyone that challenges him. He has been trained in the pits as our Captain and my father. Johh you may do well to learn from him. Otherwise he is just as human as the rest of us. Don't shut him out..he need friends now."<br/><br/>The others take a moment and circle around him. Each talking to him and shaking his hand. A few are hesitant as is their personality. Each person in the room speak to him before leaving the dining room. Lyons is first to greet him. "Lad, I leave you to prove yourself and welcome you amoung us. I will see that you meet others of your kind in the coven. This is your last day to be fussed over... enjoy it." The elder Lord pats his shoulder and smiles. "Rest Lad."<br/><br/>He gives his son a stern look as he was not standing. Johh walk over to him and hers his father clear his throat. He extends his hand cautiously. "Vamp huh.. did not know one could be kept as a pet." He teased..grinning.
