Diego has enough experience with anxiety-- both his and his siblings-- and all the ways it might decide to manifest itself that he catches it pretty easily; but that doesn't mean he'll call attention to it. That never really helps, anyway, just ends up feeding into itself and making it worse.
Instead, he keeps his focus on the boy's answers, nodding a little. "I was at White Tower when I first got here, too. It made the most sense at the time, but..." he shakes his head. "It's not for me." Despite his personal opinions of the place, he tries not to get into heated discussions of political climates with the kids. This is their freedom away from that. If they choose to ask about it, fine, he won't lie to them (though may tailor things down to age-appropriate levels).
"Mmhm, I like it here a lot. I think we're... building something that has the potential to be better than the mess out there." Vague and unspecific, but not a lie or something sugarcoated to hide the heavy reality of the world outside of Krakoa's protective boundaries.
