Alastirra first approached Jamie with ulterior motives...namely turning his FROWNY FACE upside down. She may not have particularly accomplished that, but he seems to be less seriously frowning, so it's all to the good with her.
She kind of gets the impression he's had a hard time, and isn't above clowning around with him, being goofy (though this is also somewhat status quo with her anyway), and generally being lighthearted. Kicking his ass with cheerfulness? Yes!
The marriage probably won't last past liftoff, but Jamie will still exist to her. If he's gonna be hiding, trust in Alastirra trying to FIND him. He's just going to have to put up with her, now.
HOORAY!
