Alun only spoke when he really had something important to say. Alex liked that about the boy. Maybe what he said didn't make him feel better, but he didn't feel so much despair now. He didn't exactly understand what the other boy said exactly, he did get the general idea, "So maybe.. I just need to find him then?"
Alex looked at his hands again, his aforementioned bath comment came to mind. He needed one.
"Can I help you with anything Alun?" His eyes made it clear he was grateful for the boy's words even if he didn't say it. "You helped me. The least of which just us talking. Do you want anything from me? Or any sort of help at all?"

"Ah - no. I don't think that's what he meant. He... Well. Well think of the thing he did with the planet a few minutes ago, see? It was one thing, then it stopped being that thing, but it turned into another thing. Understand?" Okay, Ouisa was still new to this whole "being the Voice" thing. It was hard work to explain someone as cryptic as Alun was - the boy was a mystery to her half the time, and they were practically cut from the same cloth.
At the question Alun shook his head, smiling slightly. He didn't need help with anything - to be perfectly frank, Alun didn't really need anything at all! He was mercifully low maintenance. "Maybe we could see each other again." he said simply.

"So..." Alex's brow wrinkled and he ran his hand through his fluffy black hair, "if he changed from one thing .. into another thing.." He was still a kid and he didn't quite grasp the depth of the concept that Alun and Ouisa were presenting him, "then he is somewhere. He just may be something else.. so I can still go find him. He is somewhere he just might not be the same."
Alex was probably taking the wrong thing from what they were saying.. but he didn't seem to be debating that Lafe probably was somewhere, just in a different form maybe. But what if Lafe had been kidnapped like he was? it couldn't be too far fetched.. it had happened to him!
The young vampire just shook his head. It was a lot to think about and he knew that Alun and Ouisa were trying to help him feel better. "It's okay Ouisa. I guess... Lafe and I might have to find our own places. If something happened, I know he can take care of himself." Lafe had always been shy, but he had a fierce spirit. "We are brothers and we are connected. And if he is somewhere.. as himself or something else.. maybe eventually I will meet him again, right? The people I was with talked alot about destiny and I don't really totally get it.. but I think this is something like that."
Alex smiled again at Alun when he asked for them to meet again. Simultaneously his stomach rumbled. It made the boy frown. Vampires and feeding weren't a good match with non-vampires. They didn't usually understand. He just hoped the rumble in his belly wasn't loud enough for the pair in front of him to notice.
"We should definitely hang out again.." Alex patted Alun gently on his strangely textured shoulder and rose to find a piece of paper in a nearby desk. He scribbled his address amidst a cloud of dust and came back to the couch and held it out. "This is where I live. In case you'd like to come over. I should probably go home and talk to my mom. Maybe avoiding her was a bad idea..." He tended to be waaaay too dramatic and impulsive. She was probably worried. Alun's calm nature had soothed Alex's stress and while it would inevitably come back, he was glad this boy was the one he'd run into.
