[Conversely, Seto didn't think she had any reason to feel embarrassed. Having reacted swiftly, she'd displayed just how fluidly and graceful she could move while taking her opposition completely by surprise and bypassing the meddlers] ... because I would have- [A look of shock flashed across his features, as he mouth hung open wordlessly. Recovering his composure, he coughed and let the subject drop, hoping she would too.

Marginally. [Answering truthfully and succinctly.] I thought the food was for you. [Something to pass the time as she hovered over him like a hawk. Curry wasn't his favorite dish, but he made do with what was available here. His tastes ran towards pricier dishes, and nothing here was up to that standard.] It's fine, I didn't ask for coffee, did I? [It would have been an added bonus but really he just wanted to tend to his wounds and peace then worry about the rest. It would have been only too easy to clam up and take the out she'd offered him but since she went that far in trying to defend him, and was assisting him now it was easier to convince himself to fess up.

It wasn't that he was intentionally trying to mislead so much as he genuinely thought himself to be in the right. It was as skewed as Iwa's retelling would likely be, and the truth lay somewhere in between.
Ann's assessment was the most accurate. It left out such nuances as Seto was feeling extra prickly because of the whole waking out of a coma thing, coupled with the recovering from the immersive nightmares, and being otherwise exhausted.
