Alexander stepped forward just in time to see Sapphire come skidding to a stop in front of Larion, her strange dagger at the ready. "Yes, I uh, came to tell you that Joshua left and we have the rest of the day to get a familiar. After that we need to set out for Coalstrike. Oh and since Imgor and Nick seem to be fine I was wondering if, you know I could lend a hand?" Alex inquired somewhat nervously. Now that he got a good look at her under the hood her eyes were a startling shade of purple and he could swear that her hair was an unnatural shade of blue though it could simply be very dark black. Alexander swallowed nervously hoping he didn't seem like too much of an idiot. Larion growled when Sapphire first appeared but once he saw Alexander talking to her he eagerly ran forward to sniff her, probably a little intimidating given his size.
