It's all Alex can do to sigh when he just dismisses her question again. Honestly, she's not even surprised by the fact that he's done it--she just wishes that he wouldn't. Of course when it came to wishes with Simon, they didn't matter, so she just scowls at him. And of course because Alex is always Alex, she's just got to comment on it anyway. (Seriously Simon should know better than to think that she wouldn't.) "That's not fair, Simon. I flew six thousand miles and spent twenty hours on a plane to meet you while you were probably in the next room over and said you were worried about frightening me. What's up with it?" 

And before he could say that it wasn't important again she added, "it's important to me, though. So I think it's important."
