There was uncertainty in the way he looked at her. Some of what she'd said he could agree with, but the rest seemed wrong to him. He was smart enough to know that there was no point questioning her perspective of him. He could only hope to prove it wrong through action, or perhaps only serve to prove her right. "We did talk about revenge. But that's your choice to make. The only thing I assured you of, was that I had your back either way." That much was the truth, and while he might be able to partially dispute the idea that he sold this cause to her. He did provide all the fundamental reasons to turn her away from the Insurgency. And he knew that by doing this she would seek alternatives. He couldn't deny the impact he had on the rest of the Alliance either, their sheer loyalty and willingness to follow through with what he asked. There was never a need to compel anybody, to hand out punishments. All he had to do was ask.
"You just want the truth. I see it now. But what does knowing everything about my nature do for you? It's not as if we're trying to wine and dine each other. Doesn't seem like what either of us are into. I've proven reliable enough, and I've given you no reason to doubt my word. But you're still searching. So you're obviously trying to find something. What is it?" It was frank and to the point, he was asking her to just come out with it and state her intentions. And he was acutely aware that he'd asked this question before. But her answer then had just been about wanting to know for the sake of it. She'd proven a remarkably decisive person so far, so the notion of simply "wanting to know Damien Morreti" didn't translate as entirely authenticate. Or at the very least, it was, but only partially. The actual context concealed behind reluctance to state it.
