Not that he thinks this entire thing was staged - there's simply no way she could have known he would be out this late and that she'd hook him quite like that. But this is worrying, and he doesn't like it.
Still, it's best not to risk upsetting her, both because of what she is and because word might get back to Seteth and then he'll have to deal with that. Technically there aren't any rules about being out this late, but Seteth will probably lecture him anyway.
