The question has him raising an eyebrow curiously. "What about me?" He gets it though, he really does. And to be fair, his reasons for being out on his own are probably not too far off from Lance's own... except where Lance has nobody to share the evening with, Keith is just, well, Keith.
"I don't do the whole social thing very well. It's exhausting and I'm not good at it. Besides, Shiro knows me well enough to know that if I have to walk away for a while, there's probably a reason." Then again, it's also his way of giving Lance an out in case someone tries to question him as to why he wasn't with everyone. 'I went to bother Keith' is a totally valid explanation, after all, and nobody would bat an eyelash over it, even if it was Lance who wandered off first.
Still, he knows he shouldn't pry... but at the same time, he doesn't know how to say this without making it sound like he is. "You don't have to sit out here by yourself, you know."
