Disgust. That was the only thing Alex ended up feeling for the blonde boy. Utter and pure disgust. The lively fire in his eyes was entirely replaced with a frozen cold glare. His face visibly soured over. [color=00aeef]“You’re asking me… to see the one creature that helped me the most in my life… as a tool?”[/color] he asked, not so much as to get an answer, but rather a setup to get his point. Samuel told him to play nice. But Alex couldn’t. Turning to the priest he whispered: [color=00aeef]“There are two kinds of evil. Those who act evil and those who close their eyes to it.”[/color] With that statement, he made sure Samuel was brought to speed on Alex’s intentions. The Duquois boy had basically already declared war on everyone who wouldn’t join them.

[color=00aeef]“I have a statement for you.”[/color] Alex moved closer to the blonde boy. Nimueh, sharing in Alex’s emotional state through a basic form of telepathy moved alongside her summoner. His eyes hadn’t changed from the cold glare yet. When he was only a few meters away from Francis he tapped with his fingers twice on his own shoulder. Nimueh, dutifully jumped on his shoulder. Maybe it was because she’s a spirit or her innate telekinesis allowed her to be weightless. Her long tail rested on Alex’s other shoulder. To Francis, this was meant as a clear signal. ‘I support my spirit’.

As a final act, he moved near Okami, Lena and Samuel. Standing with them. They weren’t the best of the bunch in terms of power. But he was confident that there was potential in them. Either way, they were better than any spirit abuser. He once more leaned in to Samuel to whisper: [color=00aeef]“I’m sorry about that.”[/color] But he never took his eyes off Francis. Alex was ready to fuse with Nimueh or use her material form. Should it come to that.
