Reika was worried for Alyxander, as he was usually hopeful and light-hearted even after harsh times. What could have gotten him into such a state of depression as this? Had he been told bad news of something? Had something happened while and and the elder vampire had been away and out of sight? She kept her questions to herself though, in fear of upsetting the poor young male further. She followed close by his side to the carriage, and let Kate sit next to him.

His mind was wheeling and muddled with so many thoughts and emotion that he couldn't distinguish one feeling from another. After a little bit of traveling, they arrive home, and Alyx was the first out. "I have not any appetite this eve. I shall retire to my chamber early, perhaps regain my hunger at a later time." With that, he went inside and swiftly ascended the staircase up to the bedrooms, closing himself off in his room. Reika bit her lip and glanced to Kate, sticking close by her now. "What could have injured him so much? I have never seen him in such a sadness."
