It was evidently clear Ket's question didn't really please Rayne. The vampire looked at the man, gritting his teeth as he stood despite Ket speaking.
"Wha? Sorry I asked I ju-"
"Just give him a moment. Alright?" Rayne asked.
As Ket nodded his head, Rayne slowly walked over to Aleksander. He frowned softly, the emotions he was experiencing only made Rayne want to reach out to hold him, but he gave him a moment. As he stood in front of Alex, the vampire reached his arms around him, almost completely covering him from everyone else's view, pulling him in close.
Running his hand along Alex's back, Rayne kept his composure, keeping as calm as he can in hopes it might do the same to the other man. He softly pressed his head against his neck, brushing his lips against his ear as he whispered to him, trying to reassure him.
"Breathe for me baby. Try your best to relax, try." Rayne ushered him, knowing he might not be too happy being coddled but the man went with the risk. "Focus on me alright?" he muttered as he listened to Alex's heartbeat, trying to make sure it evened out.
