"I will find a way," he tells her with a smile that's at least halfway a grimace. It's no secret he's a Jotun by birth, and such beings have their ways. He's not quite an expert at those ways, though. There may be a learning curve.

He gives them a wider smile, aiming for reassuring. "Don't waste your concern on me. I've had so many attempts on my life I've lost count, and yet here I am today. Once all this blows over, I'll be sure to come to you for cakes."

That seems to be all that need be said, and so he gives them a courtly nod of farewell (he's posturing; it's a good idea to continue to look respectable and powerful in front of people who respect you, after all), and then slips quietly away to let them attend to more pressing matters.
