So Alex understood the concept of someone being nice now too. He would definitely be able to get all of this down with time. He simply needed more practice being a person rather than a weapon.
"I'm glad you think so," Claire replied. "For the record, I think you have the potential to be nice too. You just need practice."
Alex nodded vehemently. "I want to be like Claire. I will train hard."
She laughed a little at the concept of training hard to be a nice person but his earnestness was cute. He might be kind of scary looking but that was only because he gave the impression of staring into your soul.
It was the disconnect between how he looked and how he acted sometimes that made her think he was cute even though that word couldn't be used to describe his appearance. He would look a little less intimidating if his hair was longer too.
