This is a brush-off answer, yes, with no indication that he's trying to cover anything up. There wouldn't be much in the way of visible hints if he were hiding something, but still—nothing extraordinary has happened today, at least so far. It could be, also, that the mention of Raven has inspired him to shoulder his way out of conversational focus entirely before he can stop to think about it. It's the usual knee-jerk assertion of control, however mild.
So he rolls his train of thought back a few minutes, and gives the sort of up-nod that often accompanies a question. "What about you? You seem a bit nervous."
