She was lying for him. He didn't want her to lie for him. And he didn't want her people upset with her, distrusting her for his sake. Nik appreciated it, though, was more grateful than he could truly convey that she was willing to protect him this way, even from her own people, that she was keeping his trust. He looked up at Kaulu in that moment and when his pale blue eyes met her own, something softened in his own gaze, something deeper than mere fondness starting to bloom. He didn't know what to call it yet, but he could feel it, a live spark inside gaining brightness. The Sidhe gave her a gentle smile but sighed as he looked around at the others, noting how they watched him with some suspicion, curiosity still, but pure question as well.
So Nik spoke. He couldn't tell them, not entirely, but he could give them something.
"Kaulu, it's all right." He looked to her and reached out, his fingers touching her own, reassuring. "Thank you, but it's all right." His voice was quiet, but his gaze was steady as he looked back at the three Chaktawe. He would have to choose his words carefully, but he wouldn't lie to them. "I can not tell you why I can do what I did. Please do not ask that, but...I can say that what I can do is unique to me alone among my kin. The Sidhe do not have these powers to control the elements...and so they don't approve of me having them. I'm not allowed to use them and...they would be very...displeased if they knew I had."
He looked down, rubbing his palm against his knee nervously, hoping he hadn't made a mistake.
