He knew that when his Mommy was like this though she would be okay in the end but getting there would be a challenge. Being on High Alert he was able to hear someone coming into the Cave. He needed to Protect his Mommy and went into attack mode.
Going to the opening but staying close to his Mommy he started to Growl and make himself seem as intimidating as possible. When he smelled the air though he started to calm down some and when the intruder came in more, He said "It's okay it is just me. How is your Mommy doing? From the smell, it seems like she needs Help." Alex just walked past him and went to His Female. He said, "I'll help her bring her Fever down okay."
Alex wrapped himself around her and held her close. He Missed his Female so much and even if she kicked him out when she woke up it would be worth it just to hold her again. Usually, he would Completely change but this time he kept his upper half and just held her in his arms.
The Little Fuzzball was not happy about him holding his Mommy when he was the warm One that helped her stomach. He let himself be known by growling at Alex and saying "My Mommy, I take care of her. She like me on Tummy."
Alex just looked at him and thought "I could just eat you and not need to deal with you, but My Female would Kill me if I ate her Pup." So, he settled for saying "Your Mommy is very hot right now and my body is cold. I can cool her body off. I am trying to help her." With that he picked him up and gently placed him on her stomach and said, "Now, you can take care of your mother."
The Little Fuzzball got comfortable but didn't go to sleep. He wanted to Keep an eye on the Male that his Mommy didn't like. But since he helped her before like this, he didn't have much of a choice but to let him help her.
After a while Scarlet turned herself towards Alex and grabbed onto him. He was so happy that he held her against him and Loved the feeling of being held by the Female he Loved. Even if it was in her sleep, and she more than likely just wanted him close because his body temperature was low. He still liked the feeling of her arms around him. He wished that he could stay that way forever.
It was a Wonderfully Quiet Night until Alex had a Sensed someone outside the cave. Using his tongue to taste the air his mood instantly Darkened. He could smell that Tarantula was coming in and his Mood Darkened More.
When Doctor Sebastian came in, He didn't look happy, but knew that Alex beat him to her. He didn't mind doing things for her though. Things like getting water, making food, and getting her medicine. However, Doctor Sebastian was upset that Alex was taking advantage of her by being in his Half-Changed form. She was hugging him. It looked like Two Mates holding each other. Both Males knew that she only had a hold of him like that because he was cold, and she was hot. Once she cooled down, he would need to let her go.
Scarlet started to moan in her sleep. Her face was bunching up and she started to get more restless and making the cave shake. Soon after she started crying in her sleep. Neither of them knew what to do, they all started to panic and that was when he showed up. Grabbing her face, he touched his forehead to hers, then whispered "It's okay. You're okay."
Travis just appeared out of nowhere and had her calm her down almost instantly. How he knew what to do when no One else did, they couldn't figure out, but she was getting better that was all that mattered. When she was sleeping peacefully again, they started to talk about what was going on and what their next move was. Scarlet would not except any of them to be there when she woke up and would more than likely be Really Mad when she did. Travis more than any because she felt too close to him.
Alex took this time to snuggle with His Female again and said "Well, we need to know what our next move is, because she won't let us stay with her and will only continue to run away from us. With all that she has been through in her life; I don't blame her, but I can't bear to be without her."
When Travis and Doctor Sebastian heard what he said they agreed with him. All that they could do is show her that they did Truly Love Her, and that they will never do anything to hurt her. This proving difficult because she can take care of herself, and anyone that has ever told her that she was safe with them had tried to kill her.
Doctor Sebastian thought of something and said "She helps people like a Doctor, but she says that she is not One. Right?"
Travis answered "She was trained as One since she was young. Her Family has been Doctors for over 500 years, and she read Everything that they Ever wrote, that is why she is so smart. She destroyed everything when her family was attacked. So, She IS the 'Knowledge of Medical History' now. You already know from meeting her just once that she is Unlike any other Female out there. This means that Along with the fact that she doesn't trust anyone we also need to find a way to have her notice us in a Positive Way."
Doctor Sebastian said "Yes, but we also need rethink everything that we have done with her. We are already close to her in our own ways and just need to try to amplify those more. Travis is closer than any of us, but he is also the furthest because she said his name. She will be more cautious around you."
Looking Sad but Hopeful Travis was not about to give up on getting His Female. Even if he had to use the fact that she saved his life then he would do that just to stay by her side.
Sitting around talking they didn't notice that Scarlet was waking up. Her Fever broke and was hungry, wanting some soup. Wondering why she was so cold, and it didn't feel like she was in her bed, she opened her eyes and seen the profile of Alex.
