Alyxander glanced to Johnathan as the other boy blocked his path, but calmed after he spoke and then left. He'd worried that John was still looking for a fight. Perhaps he was, and was avoiding it for the time being? Alyx brushed the thoughts aside, walking up the staircase towards Kate's room. He stopped for a moment, a few steps away from the door, as he heard soft growling and whimpering from within the room; it didn't sound human. There was an animal-like scent in the air, but he could still sense Reika's presence as well as Kate's. With a sigh, Alyx knocked on the door quietly, but loud enough to be heard. He opened it a little and peeked in. "Kate? Reika? Is Alyx. May I come in?"<br/><br/>In the dull light, as Kate had left the fireplace on a little to keep warm,barely more than shadows could be seen. However, Alyxander was a bit uneasy as he caught sight of a animal like form on the bed. He stepped into the room, but didn't take more than a step. He soon realized it was a fox, with the same color fur as Kate's ears and tail. Her presence was radiating from the animal as well, proving his suspicions correct. 'So this is Kate's true form?' He thought, calming. 'She is beautiful even so... oh what am I thinking? Her father would never allow my feelings for her, even if they were returned. I am a mere servant, I am not of rank to elope with a lady of her standings.'
