The sudden stop caused Alex to feel a bit of a sharp tug in his arm, but it didn't seem enough to occupy his attention for long. He looked up at the man who caught him as he patted his head and nodded. He really wanted to get across the bars like the older kids could. 

"Alex!" 

The little neko's head turned to see his big brother coming toward him. He smiled at him as he approached and pointed up at where he had just fallen from. "Nero! I'm gonna make it across that!" The older boy looked up where he pointed and sighed. "Alex, don't go off and do these things without telling me. I don't want you getting hurt." He looked over at the human in front of him. "Um...hi. Thanks for helping him, I hope he hasn't caused you any trouble."
