Beard nods in response to her deciding not to tell him she knows. Makes sense, unless it becomes important.

He shrugs in response to whether he himself should know though. "I don't mind," he answers. He doesn't mind knowing, he just doesn't need to. He can keep secrets, that's not a problem for him.

"I know something bad happened." Which is an understatement, really. "Do you want to talk about it?" he asks. Because that's honestly more of a deciding factor here.
