Surprise?
He simply shrugs, like he's storing that conversation for later. It wasn't like he was hiding it from him whatsoever, but also it just never came up in conversation... Ren may have forgotten to tell the other.
There's some fondness in seeing the other nod, since the respect around it reminds Joker of the fact that he had taught Damien the meaning of those. Joker parrots the action in mutual respect - he did take care of Akechi after all.)
