[He might find it interesting that the Rabbit shows up as so much nothing, except that he can't seem to find anyone else specific, either. It's hard to ignore the overwhelming mass of desires put forth by God when there's nowhere else to put his focus, but he tries, regardless. He's felt enough already to start to understand, and enough to find things to wonder about.
Why does it have such a desperate need for Alices? It's not as simple as wanting playthings on a whim. There are other emotions; deeper, darker things that say there's something more to it. Anger, sadness, regret... Things Ankh understands except it context he doesn't. He hates this thing that's having this effect on him, who seems to think that people like them exist as nothing but toys to play with and break and throw away. But under that are the pieces he can relate to, and there's something almost sympathetic. What happened to cause that tumult of emotions? Who was supposed to come and didn't? What's special about Alice?
He won't ask. He barely feels well enough to talk, he doesn't want to draw its attention, and he isn't sure he even wants to know. But the thoughts are there, and if the thing can read minds the same way the Guides can, it might notice that they're loud even as he tries to deny his own curiosity.

Does it notice? Does it care?]
