Roxanne looked at Lucian, who was seated across from her at the table. His expression seemed to be quite indifferent as if he did not really mind.

Seeing how bland his expression is now, I think it would be strange if I react too strongly or kick up a fuss. After some deliberation, Roxanne smiled at the kids and said, “All right then!”
