<strong>Dock&gt;Town Square-</strong>Alex<br/><br/>Alex was a bit surprised by her offer, and that she seemed to not be interested in any of the others at all.  He listened carefully as the Captain spoke about him being selected for the matriarch.  He wanted to go with Anice, but he was concerned about potentially get himself in the middle of a family squabble.  Of course, him following the request of one of these Xantelli seemed unlikely to get him into serious trouble, at least no more than not accepting her request would.<br/><br/>He bit his lip for a moment, then decided to follow her.  The breeze flowing through her hair, and her words, seemed to pull at him.  He took her hand for a moment, amazed when his shackles fell off.  As she lead away from the docks, he settled in one step behind and to her left.  He hoped at least that he had made the right decision.  As they walked, he felt his clothes shift, and looked down.  "How... wha...?"  He bit his tongue though, jogging a few steps to catch back up to her.<br/><br/>As they got away from the docks and the sea breeze, he felt the sun getting hotter.  The square amazed him, since he had never been to an area built for enjoyment like this.  The people who worked and relaxed there all seemed quite happy.  When she arrived at the table in the town square, he nodded slightly.  "Umm, yes, food would be great."  As for questions, he reached down and touched his transformed shirt, the question being obvious.
