[Looking down on the top of her head, he just grins. He's not surprised that she's not happy with this plan. If anything, he's banking on security trying to get people away from the statue at the worst- including them. Strange reactions are something no one's seen save for the people at Windblume, and somehow he managed to get them out of there before anything else went down.

But he won't say that out loud, because that would certainly get her worked up about it. And she's already exasperated with him.]

Oh, don't make such a huffy scene, you're scaring everyone around you. We need them to work with us, haha.

[There's a teasing lilt to his voice, whether she is actually making a scene is up to the people around them if they are paying attention to them at all. But it's quickly replaced with something more earnest, to reassure, even if he hasn't done a great job of being reassuring about anything to this point.]

Really, though- don't worry. It'll work out. I promise.
