Alex climbed under the table and watched the patrons of the tavern go about their daily business when seemingly out of nowhere a cold chill made the hairs on the back of her neck stand up. She felt the cold creep up and settle into the building. Water glasses froze solid and suddenly Alex needed thicker pants. She slowly rose up and out from under the table and looked around the tavern to find a boy in a cloak pull out a... magic monkey? Alex new this was ancient energy and no modern tools would unearth this cold from the very walls of the tavern. Of course, the magic monkey or whatever it was, only worked for a moment of brief warmth. But as quickly as it came, it was gone and the cold returned. Everything felt a shade of color lighter and things seemed stiff and immovable.

Hearing the basement door open, Alex turned on her heel knowing it would be Clay looking like hell after getting his ass handed to him by that skeleton kid earlier. And she was right, he looked like he had been thrown into a few walls. He was shirtless and Alex couldn't help but let her mind wander to what the rest of him looks like. Shaking out those thoughts and replacing them with concern, she noticed how bruised up he was and saw blood from his lip and nose. Alex cocked her head ever so slightly as she watched him eye the bartender and make for his room upstairs. 

Alex looked around the tavern once more and took a head count for how many people were there. Noticing the fire wouldn't start and that there was almost no light, Alex headed for the store room to find blankets and other needed supplies. 

She came back with a stack of blankets and a box of supplies and set it all on a table in the middle of the floor. "Everyone, help yerself. The staff will figure out what's goin' on, but for now ya keep warm."

She looked to Ayeka and gave her a look that said 'keep watch and find me if needed'. Alex grabbed tree blankets and headed over to the girl who was sitting under the table before and handed a blanket to her with a warm smile. 

Continuing across the tavern, towards the stairs, she wrapped another blanket around herself and headed for Clay's room. Stopping by her room, she grabbed her first aid kit and went to knock on Clay's door. 

*knock, knock, knock* "Clay? It's Alex. Can I come in?"
