Alex's green eyes went wide when he saw Valerie motion to her fingers across her throat for the kill sign. He stepped back in fear, at first thinking she had meant it for himâ€¦ it however was not the case as she went on to explain. But either way, she meant business and it was clear that it was well with in her power to do so. Two winters, that was along time! but he knew for vampires especially in her case being immortal two years was not very long. He swallowed hard and then nodded slowly, "Okayâ€¦ but only two years," he agreed â€¦ not as if he had choice in anything.<br/><br/>"court? but I didn't do anything wrong!" he protested, obviously thinking she meant  a judicial court, he however fell silent when the phone rang, he paused watching the elderly butler pull the phone out of his pocketâ€¦ he for a moment was tempted to rush in grab the phone from Sebastian and cry out for help on the other lineâ€¦ which he was glad he hadn't as it seemed to be another vampire on the other end.<br/><br/>Alex turned back toward Valerie as she began to speak once and again referring her self in third person. Which extremely boggled him as in his mind he did not understand the feudal type dialogue that masters or lords of the household or estate often referred to themselves as such.<br/><br/><span style="color: #BF0080">â€¦...Do you have any questions?" </span><br/><br/>He bit his lower lip worriedly "How many Valeries are there?" he asked, and then glanced around at the large room, "H-how often do you umâ€¦ will you be requiring me toâ€¦ umâ€¦ " he paused not liking the words 'feed, drain, donate, or suck,'  "to umâ€¦ join you?" he asked nervously. "Won't I get to go outside at all?" he added quickly, as he had manny questions.
