"I mean... we're standing in a cemetery with our own graves in it. Lying is pretty silly at this point, isn't it?"
He laughs a little, but it's flat and humorless. His body's natural reaction, trying to lighten the mood even as the young man behind it shoves what remained of his aforementioned protection aside.
