The gesture is just what it is, a gesture, because he’s currently powerless at whatever ails her. She barely hints of a smile when he makes his joke, but at least she settles with what little comfort he can give her. When she retreats, it seems that perhaps she needs more than what he can give - or, what she wants to take, dares to - and finally she explains.
He almost makes a tssk-ing sound, wondering a few things at once. One, why steal a child, two, could she not have followed to stay with him, three, how did she have a child anyway, with who - no scratch that. ”When?” he asks her, his chocolate eyes considering her closely. If there’s anything he can do, he wonders… and why has nothing been done yet? ”Was there no negotiation started for him then?” Usually a child was used as leverage… but who knows. He’s never actually invested in politics, and perhaps that’s why his hide is still whole.

This diplomat though, she got the worst, it seems.
