Well, that sure.. was an encounter. An odd one, but an encounter.
Alice is already more than glad to not have to do any more weird diffusing of the situation here though, so she will take the cat's sudden, yet odd departure. Instead she glances down at the girl, realising that the latter had already been looking up at her. There seems to be something in the girl's eyes too.. Something worried? Or maybe something more like she's observing her, Alice thinks.
So she squats down to a slightly more even level with the girl, before moving her hand to pat the other on the head.
"You did well. You stood up for yourself, but without going too far." Granted, that might have been because of Alice's intervention, but it doesn't change the truth of the matter. "He should not have hit you, just because you insulted him. He could have fought back using his words."
we love that cat!!
