JP - The Keep - Alex's Room - Organized Chaos

Beatrix watched him leave with the guards before glaring down at the vial of mage’s blood. She shoved it into her bag, intending to give it to whoever would be in charge of getting rid of it later. For now, she went into her shared room with Jacob and tended to her little brother and his hyper ways.

Alex returned a couple of hours later and knocked on the door.

Beatrix was getting Jacob comfortably tucked into bed and smiled down at him. "Sleep well, little brother." She said and stepped out of the room.

Alex saw her in the hallway and smiled “hey sorry they needed my help with some magic” he explained walking up to her.

Beatrix looked at Alex. “I know, I heard when they came to get you. Good hearing and all.” She said, tapping one of her cat ears. “You ready to get through the withdrawals?”

Alex sighed in slight fear “honestly I’m terrified but I know I can’t keep doing this, if you didn't save me today I’d be dead.” Smiling at Beatrix he tried to steady his shaking hands.

“I’m gonna need a few thangs ta help ya through this.” She replied and headed into his room, frowning at all the books. “Ya live in a maze, Alex?”

“It’s organized chaos”Alex replied blushing before speaking a spell that made the books return to the shelves. The last thing he wanted to do was have her trip over something. “What do you need?”

She handed him a list she pulled from her pocket and walked over to his bed, looking over the blankets. “Goin’ ta need more of these…” She muttered.

Alex nodded and fetched everything from the list, including the blankets and set them down neatly “what happens now?”

“Well, yer already shaky, so get ready ta deal with that gettin’ worse.” Beatrix explained. “There’s gonna be a lot of vomitin’, too. That’s why I said multiple buckets.” She pointed to said buckets. “The blankets are for when ya get the chills, cause that’ll happen too. It’s different for everyone, but I’ll be here to help ya. Just try to relax and focus on somethin’ that will keep ya calm.”

“Thanks I don’t know how I could ever repay you for this” he replied feeling light headed as he sat down on the bed.

“Don’t thank me yet…yer gonna be bitching an’ wantin’ yer poison here soon an’ I’m not gonna let ya leave this room.” Beatrix warned him as she prepared a cloth by dipping it in the only bucket full of cold water. Ringing it out, she hung it in preparation and sat down in a chair. “I’ll probably read some of yer books durin’ yer sleepin’ moments.”

Alex nodded and laid down “make yourself as comfortable as you want” he replied hoping she didn’t find his more adult literature. Yes he may have a thing for beast folk but he didn’t want her to think that was the only reason he was interested in her.
