Tch, if it's only one voice in a chorus singing off key, can you really fucking hear it? Everyone else here thinks you're fine the way you are, so don't pay attention to what a crappy machine has to say about you, it doesn't matter.
[He likes that odd little weirdo very much, thank you. Changing a key aspect of Alice's character is not a solution, because it was never a problem to being with. People need to accept that's just how she is, and celebrate it, not smother it.]
You think I listen to half the people that talk out their asses about me? Hell no, because they're just extras who don't mean anything. I don't listen to crap from people I don't care about. And you shouldn't either.
You're... right... [That was not the odd thing. Katsuki was often right, and she's said it enough to him that she knows hearing it isn't going to make him gloat.
No, it wasn't that.
Alice blinked, her brother was the most solid example- well, actually, there was no better example of what he was saying. She adored Katsuki, loved him in his entirety: crass mouth, massive ego, and everything else that was wholly abrasive about him. Certainly, she teased him and he, in turn, returned it as good as she gave. He didn't change- well no, there were SOME changes, but he didn't compromise his being for the sake of others, and look how many still stood proudly by his side regardless, herself among the numbers!]
You're right! [She blushed furiously about what she was about to say but, what better way to prove her point that she had heard and absorbed what Katsuki was teaching her?] Fuck them!
[She immediately pressed her hands over her mouth, looking around and waiting for the inevitable punishment of being so deeply crass. She prayed no one told Gamora or mama about her saying this later.]
[For a moment, Katsuki was going to grunt back "of course I'm right", but he's stopped--...no, he's stunned to silence the moment an F-bomb drops from Alice's mouth for the first time in her life, probably. Alice - the prim and proper little socialite that she is, dropping perhaps the top-tier curse word of the time (that she knows, anyway). He stares at her a moment before his mouth splits into a grin to rival a particular cat she knows all too well, and he tilts his head back to bark out a harsh and loud laugh, clearly amused.
Nice. >B)]
HA HAH! That's more like it!! [He looks almost...proud? Because of course he is. Of course Katsuki is taking deep pleasure from this. That's his little sister! And yet--] Just don't overuse it - deploy only when you need to, aa?
[Alice's face is BRIGHT red, she can't believe she said that! And she is praying she's not about to be punished for it. It absolutely sounded like a child saying a curse word for the first time, awkward and stilted. But she is glad Katsuki seems pleased, at least.
She nodded.]
I won't be saying that again. [She squeaked out.] I doubt I'll have reason to use it again.
Oh, I'm sure you'll have plenty of reasons to say it again, but best to let me take the mantle, aa?
[Because as funny as it is, Alice is still a little kid, and little kids shouldn't be going around just cussing left and right. She can have a few cusses, as a treat, but too many and he'll have to gently scold her. And, of course, he has to make sure--]
For Alice

You good now?
Wrap!
I'm good, Katsuki, thank you.
