It was even enough that he didn't feel his confidence in the man waning even after the moment had passed- though when he realised that Robin had considerably overestimated him, even if his relief to see him back on form wasn't enough to stop him from answering with a plaintive shake of the head.
"I know that 'folly' means 'foolishness'," he said, giving him a faintly reproachful look, "but I've never heard it used like that before. Unless you're trying to make fun of me."
