[ His face goes... kind of blank, when she brings up Solvunn. He honestly hadn't thought about them at all. That they would have a part in any of this. He's been so focused on himself, on trying to stay out of things so that he doesn't fuck anything up, that the notion that much bigger players will make their own moves completely escaped him.
Of course, he also doesn't really care what anyone else does. It's none of his business. Not his concern. So it earns a half-hearted shrug.
He's withdrawn into himself enough that he doesn't really notice how she offers him that kindness of pretending not to hear him. It's still in the back of his mind that he's inadvertently shared Lydia with someone else, and that's something he's... never done. Was never going to do.
It's time to stop thinking about it, so he does. Consciously, at least. But who knows what'll resurface in his mind when he's not looking. It's rare, but when shit sneaks up on him...
He looks back up at Himeka, expression maybe not as open as it would have been when they were at their closest, but certainly not closed off, either. Present in the moment. Engaging her like... maybe not someone he'd choose to follow, but someone he likes well enough. ]
They eat bread?
[ Probably a stupid question. Bread's edible, anything would eat it. He toes at a roll close to his foot, watches it get swept up in the water entirely.

Looks back at Himeka. ]
Did you bring anything else?
[ And maybe that's that. At least for now. ]
