Alex couldn't help but chuckle at Aurora's mischievous tone. He didn't know if it was her fey abilities or her personality, but something about Aurora just made him feel... good, happy even. In a way he didn't typically feel. But all the talk of hunters clearly affected her, and it wasn't long before she was practically running out the door. He stared at the stranger that walked in right behind her, only for a moment, before turning to say something to Phoenix, who was completely and utterly distracted. He rolled his eyes and stood,
"I think I'm going to check on her. I have to head out, anyway." He rummaged through his pack to pay for his order, and decided to cover Aurora's as well,
"Here, go ahead and cover her's, keep the change, you know the drill." He started walking for the door, but he paused for a moment, briefly considering offering another word of warning, but he decided against it. He had no specifics, and he didn't want to worry anyone more.
Once he walked out the door, he sped up for a moment to catch up with Aurora, cleared his throat to get her attention without startling her,
"Hey, you okay?" He paused for a moment,
"I just...' In truth, he couldn't let her rush out like that and be alone unless he knew without a doubt she was going to be okay. He knew that hunters left everyone with feelings of anxiety and dread, feelings he with which he was entirely too acquainted.
"I'm never right about these things, you know, there's probably nothing to worry about."He offered a smile, though he wasn't the
best at being comforting, he was trying.
"I also wanted to make sure you don't get run over, I'm pretty sure you came close to being completely flattened back there." He shrugged,
"Can't have anything happen to you, then where would I get all my flowers?"
