"Are you? I can be a great deal of trouble, I am told."
He's teasing, of course, but he's also deliberately placing them on an equal level. He doesn't believe that he has any more reason to be unsure than she does- and he wants her to know it. He wants her to believe it too, but he's not under the illusion that that will happen easily or quickly.
