Claire couldn't believe Six—no, she needed to start thinking of him as Alex—actually pledged his undying loyalty to her using anime as a reference. She had to give the guy some credit though; he found a middle ground that they both understood and used it to his advantage.
It was pretty hilarious though. He was so serious about it too! She had never seen anybody salute like that without it being a joke in real life before.
Though his methods were odd, she couldn't deny they were effective. The fear she had been carrying in her heart melted away. How could she be afraid of a guy who imitated anime characters because he didn't know much about humanity? That was actually kind of cute.
Considering a stone statue like Alex cute was a pretty big leap but in the moment his undeniable earnestness fit the description. He was doing his best. It wasn't his fault he had been raised to be a terrifying force of nature and he was trying to be more normal now.
