Xena looked at him for a moment at his compliment and then grunted. He wasn't sure what that was supposed to mean but whatever. No skin off his back. And truth is, especially if she had killed a beast herself, she probably wasn't in the mood for jokes. Course he was, but then again it was rare that he wasn't.
Her words, though, were sobering. The mistrust was there, which was expected. Most tunnel dwellers lived down here for a reason. Topside just wasn't their place. Injustice, illegals, runaways, cult members, vagrants, mental health- there were all kinds reasons and types to be down here. He watched Xena as she and the Cap felt each other out. Which category did she fall into? She did have a foreign way of speaking, though whether he would term in an accent or not he wasn't sure. And at nearly 6 feet tall and strong, she didn't seem a runaway waif or vagrant. Maybe illegal. She spoke of "my people". A group then. Vaguely he wondered if they were a group of Amazonian ninjas. Now that would be something to see.
Ivan waited to see what their little heart to heart would bring.
