Genis knows Raine's tone well. Yes, maybe he's got a few details wrong here, but how complicated could it be? "Okay, so maybe Eshai wasn't a bad person necessarily, but what you're telling me just doesn't make sense. If the kedan hate us so much because we remind them of Eshai, it's seems doubly silly to hate us because we got rid of him. And if the kedan like Eshai because he tried to save Tu Vishan, and we were a part of that plan, it doesn't make sense to hate us when we're a reminder of that." Raine might notice that Genis is already using the word we when talking about it; he's already conflated the issue of the past to something in the present, something he has to deal with. "Sure, maybe it's complicated. But you still can't have it both ways."
And it probably is much more complicated and subtle that Genis is making it out to be, but that sense of subtlety is lost on him. Yes, he's going to need to have someone to ask more in-depth questions to. And besides, he completely dodges the comment about Evandau because it doesn't fit the narrative. In fact, it might just break the narrative he's trying to make.
"So you've been here for two whole years? No wonder you look older than I am!" Genis' eyes just go wide at that, but almost instantly later there's another realisation that's kind of depressing. "Aw, that means I'm less than half your age again," he says with a dejected tone. He had been so proud to surpass that last year when his 12 broke half her 23, but 25 puts him yet one more year behind. "I'm never going to catch up at this rate!"
Genis pauses for a moment to look at the room though. He had been sort of joking about maids here for a while, joking about why the room was so tidy. But she had just ruled out practically every possibility that someone was keeping the room tidy other than one. After all, it wasn't going to be Raine that cleaned her room day in and day out. "So, if the hotel isn't cleaning up after you, then you must be staying with someone else who is, huh?"
