Vayne was on the verge of replying to Rinoa that it had indeed been Larsa and that he still cared a great deal for his brother, both then and now. Yet it seemed entirely a moot point when from all appearances, she seemed to have taken leave of her senses. Realizing he must have looked just as foolish, he turned his back, giving her privacy to experience her past without an audience.

Once she spoke to them again, only then did he turn to face her, and speak to the other member of their traveling party present. "I will take you at your word." Vayne didn't much care for getting used to it, but accepted that adjustment would come from exposure to the unusual.

Resuming the previous conversation could wait until he was certain that she would be aware enough of her surroundings to hear the answer to her query.
