There are a lot of things Alice is used to. People that are half-animal. Huge monsters. Strange landscapes.

But people looking genuinely concerned about her? That's a rarity. At most she's had Nan fuss over her, but at least that was someone who had a history with her. Alice doesn't even recognize this woman, and so the look in her eyes is half-wary, half-surprised.

"Me?" As if there's someone else Nerdanel could be talking to.. "Why would you ask that?"
