Alec had expected Magna to be with the kittens. Finding them gone and Catarina there caused his worry to multiply, ice sliding down his spine as his stomach seemed to drop to his feet. Why would Catarina be visiting Magna after finding out she couldn't shift unless something bad was going on.

But Catarina was a great healer, one of the best. Even if his memories of her were fuzzy he knew that was true. She was a good soul, someone who loved to care for others.

He managed a weak smile for their friend until the healer mentioned caring for Magna and his expression looked frightened before he managed to control his reaction to those words. "I - I will. I'd do anything for her." A look of empathy crossed Catarina's features before she gave him a reassuring smile that eased his worries slightly.

As the door was shut and locked behind the warlock, Alec turned to Magna, trying not to let his worry show. Leaning into her hands, he gave her a weak smile. "The Clave tried to keep me all night but they finally figured out that I didn't know anything about Sebastian. I'm okay..." He almost left it at that but he couldn't lie to her. There weren't supposed to be lies between them. "But I'm worried about you."
