He laughed, despite her comment seemingly containing nothing of a humorous value. Partly, it was because what she described sometimes ended up as an everyday occurrence for him at one point, though it wasn't from lack of thinking.
"As far as consequences, I realize that there are many actions that might have bad or severe consequences that come with them. Those do not bother me, either as I embrace them." Really, it was the reason that he knew something negative might come out of some action he did and decided to still follow through with the action, anyways. "I suppose it is seen as 'disregarding' them to some, but that is not entirely true. I realize the consequences of my actions and accept responsibility accordingly."
