Hey - hey, dude, are you okay? [Looking extremely embarrassed, tripping over his words, he looks back to Naoto-] Uh - sorry about your... bat guy, too. I didn't know that was gonna happen...

[Then again, what exactly did he know was going to happen today? Or ... tonight. Or whatever applies, here.]
