Alex stopped suddenly aware that had been speaking a little bit too loudly...at least it wasn't exactly proper to raise your voice when speaking to a queen. The next thing he noticed was the sudden lack of clothing!  His green eyes widened as he had to do a double take! Yes... the queen was in her underwear!  Alex blushed as he handed her the warm crystal glass<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">"So... Sara put you up to this huh?" She mused</span></span><br/><br/>Alex bit his lip worriedly, perhaps he should not have mentioned Sarah's name and he wondered if he gotten her into trouble somehow. "Well I was on my up to apologize anyway... so it seemed the right thing to do," he added quickly, the last thing he wanted was for Sara to get in trouble as she and been extremely nice to him.<br/><br/>His face went a little pale as he watched Lillium raise the glass to her lips and he quickly looked down at the floor, a little disturbed at the sight of his own blood being consumed in front him. But when she commented on how he tasted, Alex perked back up smiling, happy to hear it, as she seemed to be in a better mood now than she had been.<br/><br/>The thought of making a witty comment like, that he had made it himself, crossed his mind but just as he opened his mouth to speak she suddenly reached out and grabbed him by the arm! But she had moved so quickly, it nearly made him jump out of his skin. Instinctively Alex tensed and he tried pull back, but the Queens soft whisper in his ear quickly ceased any and all resistance.<br/><br/>"yes majesty," he said quickly, both in surprise and fright in his voice as the sudden and swift movement had startled him!  "Yes, thank you," he his voice a little less shrill and shaky as he was still recovering from the initial shock. He took in a few deep breaths, as he tried to calm his nerves. He smiled appreciatively over at her as she released him. "I would like the company," he admitted, "Its going to be hard to get used to sleeping all alone in my room, and finding my way around," he sighed, and just as he was thinking how stuffy and cold the study seamed without the fireplace going....until Lillium waived her hand.<br/><br/>Suddenly the fire place roared to life casting its warm glowing yellow light around the study! Alex jumped back in surprise and  his green eyes lit up and he stood still glanced back toward Lillium and then at the Fireplace in amazement!  When Lillium beckoned him to come and sit by her, Alex grinned and excitedly pulled off his jacket and hurried to the couch happy to be next to the warm fireplace.<br/><br/>Holding the coat tucked under his arms, Alex settled down into the couch with a grateful sigh of satisfaction to feel the fire warming his skin. "This is my favorite room, I wish I could stay and curl up and just sleep in this couch," he sighed as happily watched the flames leap about excitedly. Alex glanced back over toward Lillium, feeling a little awkward watching her sipping at his own fresh warm blood... it made him feel a little squeamish in way he almost would have rather her have just bitten him on the wrist or something so he didn't have to see so much of his blood out in the open.<br/><br/>Alex smiled nervously, "Are you still upset with me? I am sorry if I ruined dinner," he apologized desperately looking for any sort of affirmation that he was forgiven, he bit his lower lip nervously, "I don't think your sister likes me very much," he sighed, "She tried to scare me into leaving and now I am a worried to even to go to my own room by myself as she might just pop out and smother me with a pillow," he said, trying to sound sarcastic...
