The warning earns a good-humored laugh from him. Does he seem the type? He'd meant it exactly as it'd sounded, and so there's no trace of either embarrassment or wounded pride when he says, "Oh, don't worry, I know when I'm out of my league."

He's kidding in the sense that he'd ever think to use a pick-up line on the likes of Peggy, and not kidding that she'd be out of his league even if they were of a similar age. Plus--

"And there's someone back home." So that nips pick-up lines of any sort in the bud.

Back on the matter of finding a way forward, the humored light dims in his eyes and turns more serious. A matter of life and death and personal liberty isn't much of a laughing matter.

"Therein lies the rub, yeah. We'll just have to keep scouring until we find something."
