Alice was surprised to say the least from the sudden hug but managed to keep her blank composure, despite wincing a little from the sudden nuzzle to her cheek. While she commended DJ for relating on some level there was still that phrase, "may not understand", so there were things that she still couldn't get. But in the end there were also things that Alice didn't understand either, perhaps, it would be best to just give in and learn all that she could about this place. After all no matter how hard the kitsune tried, she wasn't sure how successful she'd be in finding the girl a family. And while her heart did yearn to feel that word, that one word that made her want to be adopted long before, she knew better then to get her hopes up. "Ugh okay fine...", she finally said rolling her eyes and sighing. "I'll stay...at least its not a new orphanage, I have no idea how the orphanage here compares to my old one in my old town, so that's something to be thankful for", she continued still being stubborn but in her own way it was sort of like a thank you. At least for now.
