He wasn't expecting that. He thought maybe she might want help keeping him from knowing or just keeping him away.
To be perfectly honest, he's not even sure his brother is going to be alive by the time Sylvia is old enough to start asking questions. What they tell her might very well be the truth by then.
He nods, doesn't mention what he's thinking. It's still pretty hard for him to face the idea that his brother may have to die to protect many other lives.
"If you think that's what's best... I won't tell her otherwise."
