No, really, he thinks it's a fair trade. He doesn't particularly want it that conversation to be known about to anyone. There was so much in it that was brutally personal, not to mention the fact that he's not a fan of showing off his Jotun skin.

Will he keep the incident in mind, in case he has to turn it to his favor later? Of course. But he's too wiped out by it to come up with anything clever just now.

He takes a deep breath, to all appearances utterly relieved, and stands. He bows, and it still shows, how he's a bit shaken up. "Particularly when I'm leaving your vicinity, I assume?"

It's a weak joke, possibly ill-advised, and he hastens to leave once it's spoken, pausing at the edge of the clearing for one last somber farewell nod.
