Her initial reaction to his question made him chuckle ever so softly, but then came hints of what exactly her job had been. The one thing she hadn't seemed to have specified earlier dropped straight down into his lap. That's how she made a living? He found an odd comfort in knowing she was no longer going to be working with the man, and while he wasn't fond of violence, he would nod without hesitation to her request. Then sighing softly to himself, one of her hands rose to ruffle the back of his hair as he let his thoughts momentarily wander off. Protecting her was of the utmost importance- that was what he had established in his mind. Why, he was unsure, but it went beyond some sort of responsibility. Then noting he had yet to verbally reply, he would speak up firmly, "I don't mind." Then adding thoughtfully, "That's not such a bad walk..." Glancing down at his car keys, he shrugged, slipping them into one of his jacket pockets as the elevator descended. It would be a bit of a ride; he lived on the 18th floor. "If you feel uncomfortable around those outside... Just let me know, please."
