Alex jolted up

She raised one arm up with a thumbs up "yep. happens all the time" She grunted

She got up "thanks but i actually live here"
"ah..."
Alex took her hand back
"how long've you been living here?"
"Forever! I was born here. Promise you won't tell anyone but... ima forest elf!"
"I won't tell anyone... not a single soul will know, cross my heart and hope to die."
