Johan was about to smile at her, and thank her for her generosity, and even go on to add how he'd be looking forward to it... when, in true Kay fashion, she kept going.

And wait just a minute. That was cold.

"Hey!" Johan protested, flinging an arm out (as if this would help prove something like that to be even more false than it already clearly and truly was) as he did so. "I'd be okay on my own! Really! What about what I just said a minute ago? I've got experience there to prove it, you know...!"

... Of course, what he wasn't saying was that Ruby had been giving him directions almost the entire time when he had originally been there, and without her, he might not have even been able to find his way back to the hotel. ... But Kay didn't need to know about unrelated (totally unrelated) things like that.
