Alexis startled and hopped up from her seat, having noticed and realized what the dark spot at Dimitri's throat was. Slowly, carefully, Alexis reached out to touch the teeth marks lightly. "Oh Dimitri," she murmured. Any and all fury she had had against the tiger earlier were now completely redirected to his attacker. He was lucky that that was the extent of the injuries. Or was it? She didn't have to be told he was fighting a serious fever. That much was obvious. Emily or someone else had said the doctor was here, so surely he was running tests to make sure all else was well. Alexis, not caring what the nurse would think, shifted and jumped up on the bed. She circled near Dimitri's shoulder and laid down at a cautious distance.
