Alyxander was slightly shaking from the effort of not crying out and screaming in agony as he so wanted to do; he didn't want to worry Kate any more than she already was. He closed his eyes tight against the pain, though tears still leaking from his eyes a little. when Kate had finally finished, he opened his eyes again, the pain beginning to fade bit by bit... not fast enough for his liking, though he wasn't going to complain. This was for his own good after all. As Kate left to get another cloth, Alyx looked up at Ann. "T-thank you." He murmured softly, still shaking a little. His gaze returned back to Kate as she came back, and as she finished completely he noticed she had been crying too. "Shh, shh, Kat... I-it's okay. It's n-not your fault I'm s-so badly hurt, and you're o-only trying to help."
