Ally was already a mess and the kidnapping didn't help at all, it made it a hell of a lot worse on the small girl so she clung to her brother shivering and crying, even though her eyes were red as could be from her previous crying so far. She wasn't sure why their father took them like that and wanted to know, but also couldn't really care. She just wanted Alex and to go home. Staying silent the rest of the trip to the palace she was thinking on his words and tried to take comfort in that. Though as she was quieting down finally the carriage came to a stop and the door opened, the torch that was held by a man lighting up the inside and temporarily blinding her. Shocked then she found herself be yanked from Alex and instantly let out high pitched screams and crying as she kicked and squirmed, trying to summon her magic to defend herself as she once more called for Alex to help her. When hearing him yell to let her go to the man that had her in his grip she looked over to Alex in time to see him attack those around him and her captor, hoping he'd manage. Thrilled then she let Alex pick her up when he freed her, clinging to his neck scared of the strangers. Though as he cried out in pain she looked at him startled asking "What's wrong?!" as thinking someone attacked him before following his gaze and looked over to the strange man with glowing blue eyes, pointing at her and Alex.
Salvador was not a patient man and so he was pleased that the carriage arrived so soon, and that the men instantly worked to get the children out though when hearing Alyssa scream bloody murder and squirm in the hold of one of them he was getting angered. Not at her, but at the man holding her since he was not happy with her being under the impression that they meant her harm. Wondering how the rest of the procedure has gone he counted the number of men returning before seeing Alex unleashing his wrath so to speak. Feeling like he had no other choice really he moved his hand to his son and made a fist as to clutch the magic in his grip, using his powerful mind to put a strong bind on the teen. He was impressed with how strong he has grown, and proud with that, were it not for him killing 'his' people. Descending down the stairs then as he locked stares with Alex and noted the hatred in his eyes he headed over to them and stopped by the corpse of the man that had taken Alyssa. Waving his hand at it he turned it to ash and had the wind blow it away, cleaning it up in silence. Looking back to his children then he waved at the men, dismissing them. As they scattered and went on to take care of their tasks Salvador made a circle around Alex and Ally, his hands neatly folded behind his back, inspecting them so it seemed. "You are filthy, wet and cold. I shall have baths prepared, you will use them immediately and dress in decent, fresh night clothes. After that we shall have a talk over a meal, there is much to discuss my children." he told them then as he came to a stop before them both. Signaling some maids then to run the baths and prepare clothing for them both with a hand movement he never took his eyes off them. How he had missed them, wished to have been able to be near and able to hug and comfort them. And now here they were. Though he wished that the circumstances were less dire than this.
