There is a laundry list of things that happen in those few moments that take Diana completely by surprise:
1. Sudden appearance of a boy. On her table, no less. 2. Sudden shouting from said boy. 3. Some uh... very choice insults from said shouting. 4. Unexpected question that wouldn't be surprising if it weren't for 1 through 3 happening.
So there's a moment of stupefied blinking from Diana before she composes herself. "I... he was my half-brother, technically, but yes." Despite the subject in question, there's a smile tugging at her lips. Not so much because of his question but because of his insult which, honestly, was pretty choice. Diana is trying really hard not to laugh.
It doesn't help that Ares grimaces even more from all the additional ruckus. "We shared a father." Which is her roundabout way of reassuring Richie that he didn't also just insult her mother in the process.
