(awww)<br/><br/>Vincent shrugged his shoulders, he was a bit surprised the young lad was so willing to take care of his own, "Follow me." He was always serious on duty. He rarely showed any emotion to anyone. "He rare spoke unless spoken to." He led the young man to a small room of the main hall that looked much like the paneling in the wall. Servants knew most of the hiding places as they were to be on duty. The small room had hooks for coats, a long table with large and small tiered racks for hats, gloves and scarves. Vincent begins to arrange the winter wear to dry. "Your place will be here at the end. That way you can find them. Thank you for your assistance Lad." He had a heavy English-like accent and his manner impeccable. Go quickly. Do not keep his Lordship waiting."<br/><br/>Kate watched as Alyx followed Vincent and she gave Alyx an approving nod. She had hoped he would meet Vincent and possibly the two might be friends. Kate knew under Vincents strict appearance and keeper of the rules, he was a softy...only she knew it. She adored him as much as Peel. If not for him her father would have never been a gentlemen and she could only imagine how hard her was for them both. Kate noticed at a young age her Father never attends court without him. Just as she would never know how to keep things straight if not for both Vincent and Ann. She was grateful Ann was easier to talk to than Vincent. Vincent did come across as stuffy. Kate loved to find ways to take and the Captain off guard. They were both very duty conscious and she could not imagine life without them. She knew her father depended on them, she needed them both the most this time of year, it was busy with socials and balls. Kate was worried that Alyx could be overwhelmed one the socials began. The good thing was Alyx was receptive to all this despite her brother being an ass. She saw her father and the Captain in a conversation and did not walk into the dining room until she watch Johh get seated. Lyons spoke to his son and Johh rolled his eyes at him. Lyons looked at Johh sternly, "You stay be a gentleman or leave like a child." Kate gasped softly. She watched Johh walk out and did not speak to her.  Kate bit her lip and saw Alyx walk out with Vincent just as Johh was heading to his room. She wanted to warn Alyx and was relieved that Johh was too angry with his father to acknowlege Alyx was next to Vincent. It was that or Johh knew better than to loose his temper before Vincent. Vincent would not hesitate to pull his ears and Johh knew it.<br/>Kate looked back inside the dining to see her father had sat down was staring into space stewing. She knew Johh had pushed his father and they would have it out next day sparring. Kate frowned a bit, Johh usually came to her for healing after. In this state her father would fight until Johh called it. They would be at it for a 2 hours or more. Johh would make mistakes out if his temper and make Johh earn his lessons. The best part was Johh would be quiet for a few days.<br/><br/>When Alyx walked in Kate smiled and lightly held his sleeve. "I am glad you met Vincent. He would never tell you, he was terribly worried about your when you first arrived. He asked about your every hour fearing you would die. He did not know you were a vampire. He saw how nice you were and even offered his own blood. Ann and I assured him it was not needed."<br/><br/>Ann walked over to him and place her hand on his back, "Alyx dear do you need a drink or are fine with supper?"
