".. I'm very glad they got you your jacket, old man." Ah, there it is. The whole entirely unimpressed act all over again. Just making some sort of deadpan joke at his attachment to a jacket of all things.

Though at least nothing about that 'old man' sounds like it's malicious when it's said that flatly. Alice is a lot more direct about it when she actually means to insult someone, and while people who are old and male usually rank pretty high on her danger list, there's at least something about Murphy that softens it a little. It's not often that she comes across someone who has gone through something so similar to her.

But he's still not going to escape being called old even with that, okay.

"At least I ought to be able to count on you giving a piece of mind to the people who are keeping us here when we meet them, right?"
