Thankfully the fight shouldn't last much longer. Alice isn't the only one fighting, which means the number of enemies is steadily dwindling at this point.

It's mostly thankful since those words - a cultural thing going way over Alice's head, most likely - hit Alice like a freight truck. Like a responsibility being thrown into her lap. Big sister. It's not like Alice hasn't pretty much dedicated herself to protecting children who can't protect themselves from this world, but it's always been more of a self-imposed thing rather than anyone actively relying on her.

It means she has to keep the girl safe. Which she does. After Alice knocks down what seems like the last of the bunch of creatures, she takes a quick glance around to see there are no longer any of them lingering around - no more potential threats.

It's only then that she turns around to A-Qing, remembering at the last moment that the girl can't see that action. So Alice lets her weapon disappear from her hands so she can instead put said hands on the girl's shoulders.

"They're all gone now. Are you alright?"
