It really is the best way to handle him, to be fair. Questions back home tended to mean problems, either someone wanting something from him, or meaning him trouble in some way. No one was curious about a runty half-orc without some reason after all. That Loki hadn't started prying or peppering him with questions beyond the obviously necessary was helping the boy to not immediately peg him as someone to keep at distance, even though he was hardly warming up in any quick manner. But the distance was more an uncertain and polite thing rather than anything born of overt concern or wariness at the moment.
He glanced up at the man's entry back into the kitchen, a bit surprised at how nice the clothing Loki had dug up for him looked. Likely not surprising, as everything he was wearing now was fairly home-spun and rough-hewn in appearance even before simply being worn with age. Hand-me-downs to be sure, and from the laces and stitching, the fabrics used, definitely from someplace not as industrially developed.
"I saw one once," He commented, as he came back to sit in the chair, picking up the socks to slip on, before reaching for one of the boots, fingers rubbing over the grommets and laces consideringly. "A fairy I mean. Not close up or anything- on a docked merchant ship. Don't know if she was a part of the crew or something but she was up sittin' on one of the masts, playing some kind of flute."
