Luna sees his face and assumes she's said something wrong - has she said something rude? Is it the sponsors? Should she not have said that? Roland's question only makes her doubt herself more, and she throws her hands up in an attempt to salvage the situation. "Um, well..."
Truth be told Luna's standards for nice are pretty low, given the people she served at home, so she holds the baseline somewhere around "hasn't actively tried to harm me." But she does realize on some level that it's not high praise for sponsors when she tries to put her feelings to words, so for a moment she's stuck flailing about for something to say in their favor. "I didn't think they'd be interested in me at all," she tries. "As I said, I don't like fighting, and I don't think I look very intimidating either. But they were willing to give me a chance all the same."
