Cautious optimism at best, which is how he feels about the whole situation now. He wants it to be over, he wants everyone and everything here to be safe for real, but it's going to be a while still before he truly believes they did it.
"...Do we go out there and check?" he asks after a pause, nodding to the dark water, before pulling out his tablet to glance at the network chatter. "I know Helix was watching, but I don't feel great assuming that just because we don't see it above the surface means it's really gone."
Going out there sounds like an awful idea, of course. That means braving the water and potential proximity to the creature just to confirm that it's gone. But someone has to do it, because leaving the World Eater's destruction unconfirmed sits even worse with him.
