Alyxander nodded and smiled slightly. He knew Lord Lyons would not allow any harm to be done to Reika, and John would be punished if such was attempted. It put him at ease a bit; and yet, he still couldn't help but feel like it might not be enough. At one point or another, everyone could have their backs turned. That would be John's chance, if his ways are not changed. The source of the problem wasn't his intent towards Reika, nor Alyxander even; it was the mistrust the young man held for them both, which was making him want his own justice where he thought it was lacking. However, these thoughts he kept locked away so that he didn't worry Reika or Kate. He took note of the wary and edgy emotion that came over Reika when John entered moments after he had come down, but gently took her hand to comfort her. After the male had left, Kate was the first to speak.<span style="font-style: italic">"Let go have some fun in town. Reika, you will enjoy the music and dancers."</span>Both Reika and Alyxander smiled at the thought of finally being able to enjoy spending time without worrying about any of what was going on. They dressed in their coats, donning gloves and hats and scarves before they left for town.<br/><br/>As they got into town, Reika glanced around excitedly. Never had she been allowed out of Draco's sight before, so this freedom to see the outside world was a true and honored blessing for her. Gone were her thoughts from the manor or the fear of her past. Her heart only held happiness. Alyx too was in high spirits, and the sun, though it was high and shining, did not bother him too much. Besides, he knew they wouldn't be in direct sunlight too long. He could find shade, there was always plenty.
