[ As much as Chris genuinely likes Loki, he has a responsibility to his crew, and he and Una go back a long, long time. He's not going to lie to her, not blatantly, but he knows that the explanation they've been given still doesn't fully satisfy her. So, in the interest of their friendship and their working relationship both, he gives her the opportunity to grill him in peace.
By the time they return to the bridge, there's only a few minutes left in his shift and Chris looks ready to leave, far less relaxed and jovial than he did when he arrived to his shift earlier that day.
Still, while there's a noticeable tension between him and Una, the frostiness of before has melted somewhat, and he's confident that things will return to normal. Settling himself back in the chair, he glances around the bridge to see what everyone else is doing, pleased to notice Spock and Loki bent over his station together, murmuring about god knows what. At least they seem to be getting on alright. ]
