"There's something wrong with the ley line?" Alec hadn't noticed anything wrong with his domain. The edges of it seemed just as solid as it had been when he'd been brought to the temple. There'd been no strange occurrences except the stranger suddenly appearing at the gate. As the being - Adam - stood, Alec dismissed the dagger in his hand. The weapon faded away, ready to appear again if he needed it.

"I'm Alec." It seemed strange to say his name aloud. He sometimes spoke to the cats, introducing himself when a new one appeared, but that was the only time his name mattered. "I guard the Temple." And its contents but that wasn't something he would admit during their first conversation.

Even if his cats seemed to be warming up to the stranger. Arching an eyebrow at his favorite, he sighed as she began inspecting Adam's shoe. "Persephone, be nice." She probably would be or she could claw him. Alec wasn't sure how any of his pets would react to having someone new in their territory. "They're not used to peopel either."
