Alyxander watched as the two girls came in, giving them a gentle smile; thought Kate's friend didn't seem to notice. As Megan curtsied, Alyx smiled and bowed his head in response; he was slightly too weak to stand, otherwise he would have bowed properly. He could tell she was terribly frightened? What exactly had been told to her about his kind? Probably that they were dangerous, bloodthirsty monsters. It honestly wouldn't surprise him; that's what most people thought of him at first glance because of what he was. "A pleasure to meet you, Megan." He replied gently, managing a smile that didn't show his fangs; the last thing he wanted to do was scare the poor girl even more than she already was. She looked like she'd pass out from fear at the moment. "What is it that you are so scared of? I'm not so different than you, after all. You act like you expect me  attack you or something; which I would never do, of course."<br/><br/>He carefully took the mug from Kate and gave her a polite nod and smile. "Thank you, Kate." He replied, sipping the warm blood from the cup cautiously, careful not to spill it. "As for thinking this is cruel, I wouldn't say I'd think that. Besides, those who know nothing are always fearful until they have learned otherwise."
