Alyx: “Not often I see you with a straight face, must be quite a raw deal, huh?”

Alyx’s chest gem radiated a dancing tense light of violet, feeling his muscles tighten if even for a moment. It’s been a while since he’s even last SEEN Ailith, and while they haven’t known each other for quite that long, he knew she was always on the run and in danger. And yet, with the power and unshakable resolve she emanated, he didn’t think someone would succeed. Having gotten to know he so well, this came as quite a shock... and some emotions were welling up violently.

Before he could get a head of himself, Alyx paused and took a deep breath lest his feelings could make him lose focus. As a shock as this was to him, he had little to go on, and needed to know more. His stare was stern, a blend of some righteous determination yet concern, as well as looking inquisitive. He took a step forward, keeping his amethyst pupils locked on the Gothikiss.

“ ... So her blood and trail is all that’s known, huh?” Alyx grit his teeth. Easing his muscles as to allow his heart to ease, he hopefully tried to pry for more answers. “... Is there anything else to know? Is there any way to track her at all?”“

That’s when a soft hiss come from around the corner, from the concave where the  double doors were, as well as a low, sly, smooth reptilian voice was heard.

“... that’s...” Alyx muttered aloud before looking over.
