At the very least Alice doesn't seem to think anything too strange about the fact he can't seem to recall how old he is.

Although it might just be since she's distracted. Since she's watching him, listening to everything he's saying, and.. somehow it makes the dam burst that was holding back Alice's full smile a moment ago. Maybe it's the odd relaxed atmosphere here at the beach, or the relief of the mission having ended well, or Sven being an oddly comfortable conversation partner-- but no matter what specifically causes it, after a moment of quiet staring Alice actually starts laughing.

Enough so that she even raises a hand to cover her mouth as she does so. It feels so weird. When was the last time she laughed like this?

"Oh, you should've seen your own face!" Even if it was pretend indignation, he does it so well. "You're making it sound so tempting."
