Alex couldn't help but jump a little at the sudden shout, blinking with her good eye as she was grabbed and forced into a chair. At the demanding question, Alex glanced away from the forceful woman. Naisha definitely got quite a bit of her personality from her mother. The similarities were quite remarkable. Opening her mouth to speak, she closed it as she received potions. Rika had been a bit more protective since Naisha got sick, over both of them. I was a little nice to be the object of a mother hen, but still. Although today had not been in Alex's favor. Jacob's crew decided that they didn't want her near the tryouts and ganged up on her. She still won, but she was outnumbered. Then when she went to the orphanage.... Well... Things with the Keeper didn't go well. If she had her shirt off; Alex's back would be covered in blistering lashes of a whip. But she didn't really want Rika to know of that.
