Spoken frostily enough, the resentment that edges it is probably more directed at the situation in which he finds himself in, one that brooks concern at all, than her specifically. Perhaps when he's eaten, managed to sleep through an evening somewhere more comfortable than the transient rooms he's experienced thus far and had a glass of something with a little more strength to it than weak teas and necessary water, he'll ask more about what it means for them to be a part of Hellsing.
Gripping the social structure of this place has not been something Lucius has had the time or the privilege to do since his arrival -- or, indeed, the inclination, as indicated by his current status as attempted criminal.
He knows that tone, too, and is not surprised by it. Easy assurance is usually what comes next, or snippy argument -- here, there is tense and thoughtful silence, leash-pull hesitation as he instead studies the edge of the road they travel rather than the woman leading the way. "Ask me again tomorrow."
