It takes a few moments.

A few moments that, thankfully, don't end up very awkward. Maybe it'd be really awkward if there was some sort of crowd around her, if Alice felt like all eyes were on her, just like they were back home.. But there isn't. For some mysterious reason - read: Thanatos looking like he's ready to THROW DOWN with everyone who bothers her at a moment like this - it doesn't seem like anyone is coming near her right now, and it gives Alice the space and mental peace to just freely cry for a moment.

It's still all silent, with absolutely no sobs, but the tears do keep coming for a few moments until she feels like she has run dry for the moment, reaching up to wipe away the tearstains on her face with the back of her hand.

".. Sorry," Alice finally says as she turns back to Thanatos. "I let myself go just a tad too much just now."

Because even if she was silently letting out her emotions, letting out her emotions in public is still always embarrassing to some degree.
