Oh, don't worry, Allen. In a few days, once Alice is fully hit by the realisation that you hugged her without a shirt on, there will be the due ear tugging to make up for that terrible affront to social appropriateness.
Right now though? She's not focused on that. Especially with those words he's saying. Allen may seem relatively cheerful most of the time, but there's no doubt he's got to be carrying a lot of hurt under it, considering his kind of past. And it's not like she can scold anyone else for sweeping that under the rug since she tries to do the same, but still...
"Hmm-mm." She lets out a half-sceptic sound, returning slightly more to her usual style of deadpan. "Is that a subtle attempt to try and push me away right now?"
Alice says it lightly though, like she's mostly trying to joke about it. Just in her own way.
"It'll take a lot more than that to get me away from you, you know. You're under my watch now." That part she means. There's no way she can totally leave Allen alone, considering everything. She is so most definitely going to keep an eye out for him.
