She sounds so genuinely mortified and apologetic that Ben finally looks up at her and manages a tiny half-smile, to show that he means what he's saying. It makes sense, when she mentions she's worked in labs with some less than stellar people. Ben knows probably he ought to open up a little, say he'd been in lab settings, too, in a different way. But there's just no way on Earth he's going to do that right now.
So instead he says, "I like that you've got strong opinions on it. Look, you didn't do anything wrong. I asked you that question 'cause you said you were going to study them and I... assumed the worst, and you got angry because you assumed the worst back, but now we both know better. So it's all good."
A miscommunication born from a common belief, and perhaps two different styles of communicating.
"Nothing to forgive. Shall we?"
It's probably not a super great idea to stay in one place for too long, up here. And now that they've cleared this issue up, Ben's focus ought to go back to keeping Cho safe, if any less-than-harmless animals cross their path.
