88 A New Star (2/2)
”Good morning, please have a seat.” Alexander also greet her before requesting a meal for her as well from a nearby servant, who responded dutifully and walked off to a side room which likely lead to the kitchen.
Leaping upon the seat opposite Lexa and next to to Alexander on the head seat, Lexa looked at Andria and her new haircut with a weary glance.
”Hmm?” Andria picked up on Lexa's awkwardness and it didn't click until a second later as she grabbed lightly onto a strand of her blond hair that didn't even reach her shoulders and spoke with a shy smile. ”Andria heard when you go through bad times, woman often cut their hair to start off anew...

Looking into the hopeful eyes of her partner, Lexa didn't hesitate to say. ”You look beautiful.”
Andria broke out into a beautiful smile and by her side, Alexander also smiled as looked at her, his gaze clearly one of pride and love. But before he could dote on those emotions for too long, he turned his gaze to the cat who had just been given his meal of meatballs and milk.
”We'll be heading off to the Tamer Building after this meal, which is just a little building outside of the main house and only a few dozen steps away. We'll have Jermine look at you there.” Alexander explained before taking another spoonful of his veg-filled soup.
”Hmm!” Lexa nodded passively in agreement, her attention not really in the conversation as she devours meatball after meatball, her tongue enjoying the pleasure of a firework of taste.

After their morning meal, Lexa and Andria joined Alexander as they took the small journey to the Tamer Building and upon arrival, Lexa couldn't help the side of her lips twitching upon sight of the building.
'What did Alexander call this building? Little?!' Lexa lamented. While not as large as the main Wilderwolf house, the Tamer Building was probably five times the size of the average civilian house...
Before they could even enter the building, the front doors were slammed open and an eccentric laugh bellowed out as a shadowed shape sauntered into view, it took several seconds for the glare of the sun to subside and give Lexa a good view of this weird fellow...
