It could be she did not notice it before it was brought to attention. It could be that she is realizing it might influence someone who does not know her to have a statement even without an explanation. I know without an explanation it is hard for me to take it into account.
I think she sees it is raising suspicious and she is not even sure why crow would have these feelings. I think crow knows it is raising suspicions on cricket... I am not sure she considered it could raise suspicions on her without explaining it to cricket. It is all kinda suspicious.
I want to send a reminder... I feel like a judgment without explanation is a bit empty. I don't think crow needs people to be on board with her opinion. I do wonder if she knows she is raising suspicions for both of them.
