[ That is goddamn adorable, and he feels like he should bow or something, but he also feels like that would be ridiculous. Instead, he nods again, a little deeper this time, and gives her a slight smile of his own. ]

The latter.
[ And she's promised herself that she won't push. Really. But this is Tessa, and if there's one thing she wants in her life, it is to understand other people. ]
So what were all those things you did? Only some of those made sense to me, to be honest.
Trill are a humanoid species from a planet of the same name. Starfleet is the organization I work for. We're a peacekeeping and humanitarian armada, among other things, for the United Federation of Planets.
As for my ex-wife... She did enough to chase me out of Georgia an' into Starfleet.
[ There's a slight chuckle. ] There are. The Federation itself is made up of at least 120 members -- not necessarily worlds, since you've got things like the Andorian Empire, which covers most of a system and not just world -- and 700 colonies.
[ And he's just going to ignore the bit about his ex. ]

Which ones did you have questions about?
[ As dangerous a question as that is to ask... ]

[ Frowning a little as she tries to remember all the words. ] What is a Trill? Or Starfleet? And did your ex-wife truly keep a whole planet?
