It's not the answer she's looking for, and it's far more complicated than she had expected. Part of her, deep down, wasn't actually expecting him to simply come out and say 'I'll stop messing around with other people', but irrationality and childishness made her ignore that common sense.
So she's unhappy, of course, that's apparent on her somber expression. He's right. This isn't fair to her. All she wants to be is in a nice, normal, monogamous relationship with a guy who isn't freaked out by her albinism or her being half-Witch, and she can't even have that.
But at the same time, his answer isn't completely horrible. Even though she's sniffling faintly, it still feels like there's a tiny sliver of hope. The reasons are more complicated than for his own enjoyment and, more importantly, this means a lot to him.
Her mind hangs on that thought. This means a lot to him.
"... That means a lot to me, too," she mumbles sullenly, then suddenly turns and latches onto him in a tight hug. "I'm not happy, but - it means a lot that I'm more than just a... a fling to you.... You're more than that to me."
