She hasn't really forced anything out of him. But given the fact that she hasn't had anyone tell her much of anything since all of this started, he doesn't expect a few words out of his mouth to have much meaning.
He nods at her response, understanding. There isn't anything he can do about how she feels, how left out of the loop she's been. No one in her circle of friends trusts him, despite the fact that there had been a tentative alliance between all of them when they'd been dealing with Jackson - but that's all behind him, and though he's tried to make amends for something that he isn't even responsible for, there's nothing left to say.
She might have questions about his intentions here on the station, but if he's entirely honest, he doesn't even know what he's going to do here. Once he's figured out how things operate, what he can do - it might be different, but for the moment, he's just as clueless as everyone else that had come off that shuttle.
"Fine," he finally says, after a few moments of silence. His expression has melted back into something more neutral, less insightful as to what's going on in his head.
