She smiles and he wonders if it's fake but it's fine. Sometimes you have to shrug things off for the people you love. He's not very good at that though.

"It wasn't as bad as the Slagveld, but yeah, at least no one was hurt." Well, except for Atlas. He still wants to ask Aurelia about why she did it but he hasn't found the time. It's probably for the best. "I'll be alright. I just.. Don't want to end up on the wrong side of things." He's already made a mistake, caring too deeply for two demigods on either side of it. But it's too late now.
His head tilts as she talks, shoulders shrugging lightly. "M'not sure really. I don't think running the Halenani would be my thing. Maeve has put a lot of effort into it, I don't want to overstep."

He sticks his tongue out at her, trying to get back to something silly, something light.
