[The answer comes easily, but it's incredibly defensive. Is he fine? Kimblee's explanation makes sense, yes; of course they can't be as open here as they could be back in Mahogany. He understands that much, but that doesn't explain why Kimblee snapped at him in the first place. If he's right (and he's usually right about this sort of thing), then Kimblee's finally gotten sick of his inability to pick up on simple social cues and will tell him that he's not interested in dealing with that anymore. At least Kimblee has the decency to tell him, unlike some of the people Isaac's dealt with in the past. Ironic, Kimblee having the decency that others don't? It's almost funny.
This was a really bad idea, he shouldn't have brought Kimblee back here. He can't escape here, which is looking more and more appealing. He tenses a bit, trying to come up with some excuse to get out of here so he doesn't have to deal with the inevitable rejection that he's only managed to avoid due to sheer luck and Kimblee's patience. It figures that he got too comfortable with this only for it to fall apart. It figures.]

It's alright. I'm fine.
[Not really.]
