it took too long }} horn growth

[Alexandre]

Pointed ears rose away from the back of head and turned at the sound of Vayne's voice. At first, he didn't respond. Alexandre was still indifferent about her. His parents couldn't manage to grab him from the Coalition of the Condemned for two months, despite their efforts, but still managed to adopt... her. The replacement. The thought made him sick. He tried to avoid the subject as much as possible. Jealousy would get the better of him though. As her call rang out again, her words were interpreted as bittersweet in his head. Did she really care? Had the bitch grown jealous that the original returned?  Unbeknownst to him, Vayne's concerns were genuine.

With a subtle scowl, his eyes lifted away from the water's reflection and settled on the smaller feline. An unwavering gaze watched as she shuffled over. Reluctant to respond, knowing his physically state was improving, but his mental doing otherwise, he merely offered a curt nod. "Better," he rumbled back. 'Better than you, at least.' Orange hues slowly began to travel along her silhouette, narrowing at the small details and flaws in her figure. Tufts. Dirt. White that was stained yellow. Disgusting. His gaze moved upwards. "I see you're doing well." His tone was sweet, but his silver tongue said otherwise. She would never know that though.

An interruption came. A break in the tension gladly created by Roan. Alexandre's head followed Roan as he moved inwards to drop his stash off and offered a firm nod as he came to a pause. "Late bloomer, I suppose," he snidely remarked. "I would have never noticed this early if it wasn't for the delicious dogwater." A cheeky smirk curled upon his maw. His brother didn't respond in regards to prodding at his horns though, knowing that it was better not to argue with Roan. "That would be nice." Maybe he'd learn more about herbs while he was here. Roan was very informative about what he missed. Maybe he'd be willing to spare some knowledge about medicine and elixirs as they sat around staring at the cobblestone walls.
