Alex looked to the white wolf as it leaped out from the bushes, scattering the shadows before immediately dashing out of sight. He turned his smile into a cocky grin as he walked up to Simon who had been next to Strauss, seemingly looking over the scratch that he'd received from one of the shadows. "Why would it matter if it hurts? All that matters in games such as this is that we simply enjoy ourselves," he said, shrugging.

He's got the right mind-set, pursue and push on I say!" spoke Alex, loud enough so nobody could miss his words. At Strauss's concern for Sarah he simply shrugged. "If she can't walk on her own, Simon or you could always carry her"
