339 Why couldn't Alaric be more like Lauriel?

Lauriel approached Aleksis and patted her back affectionately, "Are you not feeling well? Do you want me to make a fresh concoction of your favorite mushroom?"

He knew that Aleksis was hiding something, but he did not want to force Aleksis to tell him what was bothering her.
