Maybe Alice should have seen the danger in bringing up that name to the other, but alas. Apparently she hasn't considered said danger at all, since that question manages to make her look surprised at first, then slightly flustered a moment after.

"I.. Yes, I am aware he likes me." That's easy to say. Just an objective fact. He told her, she knows it. The rest is harder, especially since she doesn't want to quite literally lie to herself here. "I'm not sure what I feel. He seems to be a kind person, though his interest in me confuses me."
