Alexa was enthralled with the stars, and the flickering flames of the bonfire. She couldn't wait to tell Copper all about it. She felt the brown male hug her close to him, and she was delighted to see Haydee with them. But it seemed the grownups were somehow stressed about something. She didn't understand why suddenly a large male was looming over them, it frightened her. She hoped Eltrys and Haydee would keep her safe. She heard two other large males intervene, and Eltrys whispered something to Haydee while scooping Alexa up. They seemed to be making a quick and quiet exit. She wasn't one to complain when the grown-ups were dragging her around. She was used to it by now.
