He looks at her, faintly surprised at her assessment, though he shouldn't be. It's a fairly natural understanding; of course this sort of thing can be lonely. And it was obviously worse for John, so he's sure it's all too easy for someone as intuitive as Blue to recognize the need he feels to suppress his own hurts.
"Thank you," he says gently, giving her a soft smile. "I—I really appreciate that, Blue."
He huffs out a sigh like he's physically pushing all that aside, and says briskly, "But surely we can find something nicer to talk about while there's mimosas about. Does Kat know you're so worried about her?"
This is the sort of ambush Tim used to pull on him, and while he normally wouldn't dream of doing that to someone else, he is extremely eager to stop soaking in his own soupy emotions, and he hopes Blue will see this as the lighthearted poke it's intended to be, rather than some sort of interrogation. He also does have two and a half mimosas in him, to be fair. He can't resist grinning a bit.
