[Ira lets him have those few moments to absorb what he just said. Honestly, he's wondering if he should have said more, but with very little else to go on... He doesn't want to cause too much problems just because of his own hangups.]

Yeah, no kidding. [He sticks his hands in his pockets, staring out at the distance. Wondering what his mother or Mary would do in a situation like this. And while he doesn't know what's going on in the other's head, he can't help but notice the look in his eyes.

Ira wants to ask him about it, but he stays his tongue on that one. Anyone in their right (or maybe not-so-right) mind would be worried about the situation they're in right now.]

We're in this together whether we realize it or not. [He shrugs.] Foreigners in a world full of mysteries. Don't see a reason not to share what I know, really.

[Well, some of it. He has to protect the Brotherhood... Even if he's one of the few here.]
