He could see the change in the smile, which was very easy to read if one just looked properly. There was something about the look that partly enchanted the man and partly... well, he felt bad for him still. Which might just be another reason that he was acting a fool. Feeling bad for this man.

"I don't know what to think. I want to trust in you. I trust you enough that even Director Fury hasn't heard about your secret. That's hard for me." His hands went back to his pockets, shoulders relaxed now.

"I'm trusting you because I think I can." He raised his eyes to watch the God again. "But if you do turn? Do me the kindness of actually taking my life first this time." He might be joking, but he might also be serious. This group of people meant a damn lot to him and if this was going to mess everything up? Well... he didn't actually want to be around to see that.

His expression was flat, but there was an undertone of sadness there. No default smile or anything.
