Alex was scared, but not for himself as for what could happen to Alyssa if she felt like she had gone too far. He knew he was safe, since Alyssa would never ever harm him, he loved and trusted her too much to think otherwise. Whatever it was the tipping point, it seemed it worked, as his beloved desisted on her aggression, her red eye returning to the usual blue. As soon as he could, Alex wrapped her on his arms, caressing her back. "Don't be... you did fine..." he muttered, trying to calm Alyssa down.
Distracted by Aria's goofy exit, Alex noticed that it was just a cover for how scared he was, as it was pretty normal to be. It wasn't anything she didn't bring upon herself with her plans, but it was still too fierce a retaliation even for a pirate. Alex hoped that Aria learned her lesson and chased someone else, but he feared that her pride wouldn't let her, so it was just a matter of time they fell in another ambush designed by her. With the pirates flying away and Millie and Leon still shocked, Alex returned his attention to his girlfriend.
"Alyssa, you saved us, all of us. Thank you" he said, not wanting her to feel bad about it. "We all would get mad if we thought one of us were in serious danger or severely injured, right?" Alex added, glancing at Millie and Leon for support. "You just happen to be stronger than anyone else, that's all" he justified. "Thank you for worrying so much about me, I was a bit too reckless, sorry" Alex finished with an apology, accepting his part of the burden.
"Lori, I think it's time for you to pick us up, we could use some rest at home" Alex spoke through the communicator, hoping that the Aeon Crystal shock didn't fry it.
