When he gets back, Alice is still looking rather nervous. In the sort of way that she can't even start to cover up, so it's very visible on her face - particularly in her eyes as she looks up at him when he puts down that cup of tea.
There's a part of her that's still doubtful, that feels like a fire couldn't disappear that easily when one managed to eat up her entire childhood home, but she knows Aziraphale wouldn't just lie to her. Not in a situation like this either.
So she lets out a breath.
It's an attempt to calm down, even though it's not working very well yet. When Alice grabs a hold of the tea cup, her hands are shaking.
"That's.. That's good. At least-- It means we won't all just burn up in the void." But it will definitely take a while more for this shakey feeling to leave her, and she knows it. Her trauma being reactivated won't just go away so quickly.
