Maybe it's not a problem for most people. But Alec's not most people, and he's not going to explain that he's not most people either. Nothing good at all will come from that conversation. Better to just be uncomfortable, and hope Tommy gets distracted by something else. Considering that they have something of a goal, distraction shouldn't be too hard to accomplish.

"I know I am." Could move faster, but Alec doesn't want to tire out. A slower but sustainable pace is smarter. "It's not really magic."
