Alexander calmed down, but he was still in shock, and his terror level had dropped. He held on Tar eventually making him lay down on top of him. He tried to say something, but he couldn't. He didn't want to do anything but hold on to Tar.

[Uzekins]

Tar held the boy close, not wanting to stay too long but figuring if he had to then he might as well sleep some. He stroked his hair before rolling over and pulling him close. Maybe a nap would do him some good.

[Cheesecake]

Alexander calmed himself down when Tar laid beside him. He nuzzled himself closely with Tar, feeling safe now he fell asleep again. He gave a few more relaxed and deep breaths and he was also glad Tar saved his life.

[Uzekins]

Tar told the men to check back later for the dress fitting to hold off on that for now. He would also eat later. He decided to go back to sleep seeing as he couldn't wander off. He woke 4 hours later, stroking the boy's hair and hoping he was better.

The hours past and Alexander woke up. This time he was full of energy. He had never slept that much in his whole life, probably more sleep than he got in the past week, as it seemed. He still clung himself to Tar. His voice was not that much better. He couldn't form words, but he was very hungry. He tried to signal it, but he wasn't sure Tar would understand the signal he was giving him.

[Uzekins]

"oh good. your up. now we can eat. I'm starved." Tar chuckled as he got up to signal the guards for the food to be made now. "think you'll be fit for the dance?"

[Cheesecake]

Alexander gave a nod in response, meaning yes. He couldn't speak, but that wouldn't take away from the ball since he was dying to go. He smiled a bit and hugged Tar again. He was happy that Tar was in his life. He had a re-cap of the best times he has had with Tar, most are recent. He ate his food silently. Not trying to talk, or have eye contact with anyone, except Tar.

[Uzekins]

Tar ate his food at a savage pace since he was hungry when they woke previously. Sleeping did nothing to help with it or not. He wondered what was causing the boy to be speechless though didn't dwell on it hoping he'd try soon.

(( XD. I wonder when drag was first started...Our time period seems a bit early for it, but I don't know. XD ))

Alexander tried to talk, but all that came out was muffled whines and dog like sounds. He faced the facts, he couldn't talk. So he wouldn't be able to greet people at the ball. Which might be a bit of an advantage. He did a high pitched voice, but you could easily tell that his voice was that of a male.

[Uzekins]

(possibly but oh well >D)

Tar wondered if it was the excessive water that had been in his lungs as a little effect from that. At the very least he hoped he'd be able to make his cute little sounds when he found them necessary. "Keep trying daily. Maybe it;s from the water?"

[Cheesecake]

Alexander gave a nod. It probably was from the water in the lungs, possibly from the screaming as well. His lungs were hurting, very badly, so it as well be the case. Alexander finished his food, and tried his very best to stay mobile. Maybe his body would find a way to use the excess water before it caused harm.

[Uzekins]

Tar watched him carefully with whatever he was doing. He wondered if he'd need another bath or not, assuming he fell asleep or something in there. He felt a bit guilty for leaving the room that time.

[Cheesecake]

Alexander eventually found himself tired of doing anything to use some of the water that was caught in his lungs, but there was nothing else for him to do. He didn't stay in one spot too long, attempted to leave the room but he didn't want himself to pass out without Tar being around and making frequent events to the bathroom to just privately think to himself.

[Uzekins]

Tar got up, wondering what the boy wanted to do as he woke to see him fidgeting a bit. "Did you want to go for a walk or something?" He chuckled as it looked like there was something invading the boy's clothing making him squirm.

[Cheesecake]

"Mmmm-mmm," Alexander mumbled as he nodded as well. Still unable to talk, he was able to make sounds, well, sounds that didn't make any sense to people. But regardless he could always do gestures that could signal what he was feeling at the time.

[Uzekins]

Tar chuckled. "well if you can do that you can at least still be pleasing to the ear." He laughed as he got up, waiting for him to get ready as well. "hungry still?" He figured he'd ask that much.
