[It's true, he is right, but Mako is sitting ramrod straight, not sure how to respond to it. The problem is, drifting has made them skip about ten steps, and Mako isn't used to getting close to people or being so open with them. She doesn't know how to navigate it, and she doesn't know if she's placing more importantance on it than Raleigh is. She's being careful to not quite look at either of them, and luckily Raleigh tries to change the subject. Mako just stays quiet, hands twisting in her lap.]
