Megatron wishes that Agnarr and Sigrid hadn't picked up on the disagreement, but it doesn't completely surprise him. The children may not be able to read EM fields, but they have excellent intuition and Loki has done nothing to discourage them to doubt it. He doesn't want to involve them in adult disagreements or problems. But he doesn't like to be dishonest with people he'd like to consider family and friends, even if they are all still sparklings.
"A time may come when the ability to communicate with you all in a manner that people can't overhear will be useful," he tells them, and signs inexpertly, while Eindrid is looking down at the floor and Una is still getting her hair done: It will be all right. Problem with words, not with people.
"I love your father. And I want to be Harley's friend. Just like I want to be your friend. Anyhow. We can exchange gifts when Una's braids are all done."
