The talking dolphin failed to completely dispel his worries, but there was very few things that could, so he didn't let it bother him too much. The fact that they didn't direct answer to the 'how long are we going to be here?' question was a little unnerving though. On top of that, they still didn't know who was responsible for all of this. Sure, the dolphin said he was in charge of this place, but he also mentioned that he had a boss. '
If this really is on the level, then why didn't we get a heads up? And why did we get brought here in our sleep?' he wondered to himself '
That's the part that really has me bothered; we didn't get any say in this. What if any of us hated the beach, or couldn't come for some other reason?' His mind suddenly turned the the Arena the dolphin mentioned, and some very dark thoughts flashed in his mind '
...could it be?'
"
Alex...Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
Lily's voice pulled him out of his musings, and he briefly pondered the idea of
Lily of all people, having the train of thought that he was "
For your sake, I really hope not." That did manage to remind him of something though; if this really was on the level, then it had to go perfect. While he wasn't too worked up about about wasting his own vacation, the idea of a crying Lily was something he wished he could purge from his mind '
I'm still not used to that'. So while his survival instincts yelled at him to find somewhere to hide out, or to grab the dolphin and force the answers out of him, he stuffed that voice in a bottle and buried it deep inside of him. He had to at least
try to make this vacation wonderful, Lily deserved that much.
"
I think...I'm going to try and sing." Lily spoke up again as she took his hand.
"
I didn't know you sang" Alexander remarked as some girl dragged away that one guy with emotion magic '
Dammit, what was his name again?' However, in an attempt to lessen his anxiety, he allowed his Beast magic to flow through his body. His hair grew and two ears popped up, and he felt his senses
expand '
There, that should be better' He allowed himself to relax a bit as he suddenly felt much more aware of his surroundings "
Well, I've never been to the beach before, and I sure as hell haven't been on a date before, so I'll just follow your lead on this Lily." he told her
