[He knows she won't get why, but she sounds ridiculous to him. In consequence, he doesn't bother to address it. Caim is used to essentially being a one-man army, though he supposes it's really a one man and one dragon army. Not very many people make an effort to stand against something that will roast them alive. And it's not as though he hasn't sent his own share of men running and screaming in the opposite direction.
At the same time, there's logic in what she says, too. In spite of whatever Caim's personal motivations were, he still supported the act of the Union standing against the Empire and his efforts were ultimately to aid in that.
She breaks into his thoughts with that gentle squeeze. It's strange and makes him think of Furiae a bit. Probably because that's exactly the kind of thing she'd do when they were younger, because Caim was always lost somewhere in Thoughtful Land. As he mulls over Sen's words, he shakes his head at her. Not because he completely disagrees. Just because he has a counter argument for her.]
If they were so powerful and if that power exceeded ours, they would not need us here. And they would have found a way home for those here by now. You overestimate their ability and their strength.
[Or he underestimates. It would be like Caim to be overconfident.]
