"The true reason...?" he asks, somewhat uncertainly, before the heart of the matter clicks into place. She means, of course, to ask after whether she has told him about her special secret. John lets out the breath of a laugh, hanging his head at that. Of course.
He takes in another breath, before offering her a nod.
"You have said," he acquiesces. "Although -- if I am being honest -- I was not certain I believed you at the time. I did not think you mad," he hastens to add, before simply offering her a shrug. "It's... A lot to take in at once, you know. You, and your daughter both -- forces of nature in and of yourself, without... That to add."
