"Hm," Raine says, and lets it go; not because she's content to leave the question unanswered, but rather because Erskine's lack of answer is just as revealing. It's likely the emotion he's not entirely comfortable with. "I see." She hadn't expected that he genuinely would have such a good opinion of her, given what their past interactions have comprised, but there it is.

She herself does consider Erskine a friend by now, after all, even if one to watch.

And, notably, Raine follows him without undue questioning. It seems a reasonable direction to take, and he might even have a plan. "Where are you intending to take us?" she inquires. "We're certainly not at a loss for options."
