It's the tone of his voice that tells him what he'd only had hints of before, and his cheeks turn a bit pink--it is, after all, not his place to know about Lord Barma's... relationships.
The rest of his tone reminds him much of how he feels, the fact that Xerxes in his own world could be dead and he wouldn't even know. A... bereft sort of feeling.
"I'm sorry."
It's the only thing he knows to say, and applies both to the situation and the fact that he pried.
