OK. That was an answer to something. What he doesn't know but it was definitely an answer. And one she wasn't happy about.
"Limb enhancers. Right. Got it. Obviously. For.... enhancing limbs?" Sure. Makes perfect sense. Alistair glances up at the men she's using as cover to see if they can offer an answer he'll actually understand but they seem as lost as he is.
Letting it go for the moment, he plonks himself down on the ground and offers a reassuring smile. "I'm not going to hurt you. You can come out."
Despite her claims about how fragile humans are he is a lot bigger than her. And she doesn't even have the advantage of being built solid like a dwarf. Come to think of it, maybe that's why she's short. And a Gem is like a dwarf. So he just asked something really stupid by wondering about her height.
It's not like he didn't say he's never heard of her people before, she can't blame him for that, right?
