Alyxander turned his gaze toward Jonathan as the older boy spoke, listening to the questions asked of him. "I haven't been around this area long, sir." He replied honestly. "I was a slave before this, a servant to Lady Malora and Lord Draco. I was left beaten and weak in the wharf a ways from here a few days ago, and Kate had been given a letter from my mistress telling her of my whereabouts. Kate rescued me and brought me back here to be nursed back to health." He went into no unnecessary detail, but figured it would be best to tell the story as it happened. No need to keep secrets from anyone after all, they would find out eventually anyways. Besides, Alyx wasn't one to lie nor to hide things; this was naturally his nature and character.
