She lets the apology - or whatever it is - slide, focusing on the contact and the way it dissipates the bad feelings.
Nico's right. But that's okay. Hazel doesn't like to shy away from falsities either, not anymore, even if she holds onto hope a little better than he does. She knows she defeated Pasiphaë, even if it is temporarily - but it's not like the woman's going to be busting into the Argo II. She doesn't need reassurance of the coddling type, just confirmation of reality. "I wouldn't let her hurt anyone. If she did come back," she says, finally, her voice soft but still quietly determined. It's saying it aloud that really helps push back the nightmare, even if she moves her hand down from his arm to take his. "At least the Doors are shut now."
That should, theoretically, make it all a little easier. Not that anything is going to be easy.
