Ignoring her comment he stood up and followed her.  "So what exactly would you like me to do when we encounter one of these things, protect, you, disable it,  or would you rather me just stand still and serve as bate."  He was serious about that last part, he was very certain that she had at least considered using him for that purpose.  It seemed she regarded him as little more than fodder as it was.  If she wanted him to she would do it,  she was paying for him after all, but he would not be happy about it.  He ducked under a tree limp and made sure to stay hot on her heels.  "What exactly is that thing on your back anyway,  some kind of net gun, or special weapons or something.  I've seen all manner of bolt throwers and bows but I don't think I've ever seen anything like that."  She would probably think him even more of a simpleton for asking but he was caring less and less about what she thought.
