Sending Her Off?

Elysia didn't quite know what to make of this strange new boy.

She'd been alone with her father for so long that the only form of human interaction she remembered clearly was *with* her dad, but even so, she didn't feel shy at all after her initial nervousness.

Alec was very nice so far, though she was a bit sceptical how much of it was real.

He didn't shoot her disapproving looks, nor did he verbally flay her whenever she made a mistake, be it socially or otherwise. All she had left to go on was her spotty memories from when she was roughly four years old or so, which wasn't a lot.

Her bad memories associated when she was young was all but disproven because of how Alec was reacting.

She was positively chipper whenever they interacted, because she could feel that his eyes were sincere when he listened to her, and he never shrugged off whatever she was saying, nor did his attention waver.

Her dad was right.
