[Bruce blinks once when he sees Zevran pulling back - not a lot, but enough to be noticeable. Enough to show his intent. It wasn't what Bruce had planned, if he actually did plan anything, but its good enough.]
I apologize. [He says after a moment's pause, gaze flicking back up to Zevran.] It wasn't my intention to cause you more distress.
[But he thinks Zevran needed to hear that, at least. The two of them haven't been on any good terms for a while but Bruce thinks he needed to say it out loud. If it damns the last bits of whatever camaraderie they had, then Bruce will live with it. Losing favor with an assassin isn't the worst he's had to work with.]
