Alec tilted his head slightly when she said she was from a tree outside a village called Kokiri. It was no surprise to him that he had no idea where that was, but he guessed it made sense, a real fairy that lived in a tree. It was a little hard to grasp, he'd admit, but he'd heard a lot more strange things than that. He didn't know who Deku was, but he saw her response to having to say the thing had died. He reached out and gently touched her cheek, caressing it with hs fingertips.
He was more relieved than he realized when he saw her smile again, knowing his surprise had made up for the bad memory. "That's..a good comparison. They're fun scary the first time, but fun." Alec had been to a few before, so he knew what to expect, but he knew he'd have a lot better time when he went with her. "You are pretty small, even for a human." He teased and gave her a gentle poke in the ribs. She was short, that wasn't a lie, but for some reason all the girls Alec dated turned out to be that way.
