Beau was looking for him? Looking for Caleb, sure, but him? He's surprised to hear it, his relationship with her was always contentious until very recently, so this beau should still fall cleanly in her dislike of him... maybe what Caleb said was more true than he expected.
Though, he does frown when she mentioned he should trust Mimi if he can't trust her. He feels as if he's missing something here, it makes his head pound to try and retrace their conversation and interactions. Probably somewhere in there he did something to upset her? Was it him pulling away? Now wasn't the time to try and address what might have gone wrong.
"I--" he grits his teeth and organizes the thought through fog enough to try and get them out cleanly, "I have enough... sense to-- ah, trust my allies hav-... won't lead me to harm."
He takes another breath, "Just-- the closest safe house..." Essek will be fine with that, he wants to see Beau but he's more bothered by Caleb possibly being out there, lost.
