Wraen seemed to expect something, but Eljay's mind was set. Still, there was no harm in Wraen thinking (or pretending to..? he was never quite sure with her) that they were still out here. Eljay didn't say it to seem sulky, but it was just a thought that had come to him. If she could do anything at all in the present world then his mom totally would've pranked everyone by now.
