"Is that a soldier cooperation sort of thing too?"

Alice can't help but point it out. There's definitely a hint of smart-aleck in her, after all - at least when it comes to these sorts of things. Besides, it's easier to near-tease him about it than to try and contemplate how she feels about someone actually taking her feelings into account. It's a wild sort of thing - definitely the kind of thing she'll need to take some time for to process later.

"You would think being understanding of other people's feelings to this extent wouldn't be so necessary just to work together. Perhaps there is a bit of a kind person deep down in there." Or maybe not so deep, honestly. Zechs is already beating absolutely all standards set by people from her own world.
