That comment earns a soft chuckle - he almost makes a comment about not wanting to get on Alisaie's bad side, but instead keeps his words to himself, not wanting to allow the conversation to stray. Theo has always seemed the type to keep everything inside - he'd been positively stand-offish the first time they met - so the fact that he's willing to share now, with him, is something to be treasured, in his opinion. He also understands how difficult it might be, and he doesn't want anything to get in the way of that.
He listens quietly as Theo begins his explanation, nodding slightly in his understanding.
"One doesn't expect to find familiarity an entire world away, making it all the more striking when you do find it." He offers, softly encouraging "The juxtaposition of familiar and unfamiliar is uniquely jarring, I think."
