One thing is not equivalent to the other. Nina is prepared to not freak out. For a Grisha creating life is a NO and being enslaved is also an obvious NO, so she needs to just accept that there are different things in different worlds that she does not understand, because denying the evidence of her eyes and abilities to the affectionate bond between these two is just not something she is prepared to do on a wild world accusation spree.

Don't you know you need to ask if you want to play with someone? Go on, back to your friends.
[ The child is disappointed, but doesn't need much more encouragement to go on, since really, he does know better.
