Alric listens attentively, raising his eyebrows slightly at the vagueness of "a private matter," his polite smile quirking just slightly with puzzled amusement. A private matter indeed, between a visiting foreign prince and a princess who'd had barely one entire day of opportunities to meet him. Given how much Elsa's bearing had stiffened compared to her already tense state, there had presumably been some manner of unreasonable request, most likely from Anna, given she seemed to be (unsurprisingly) doing the most talking. The list of probable topics wasn't all that long.
Still, no sense giving her a hard time about it, especially when she has more to say. His smile grows more wry as Elsa continues, troubled at the thought of such things being said between the two of them, although there's a glimmer of warmth in his eyes as she describes how difficult it had been for Anna.
"...mm. I recall Lady Anna being nearly as irrepressible and restless as I was, back then--and judging by what I saw when she approached you, and afterward, that hasn't much changed. I believe I understand well... but please, go on."
