She realized he had a point...it would be bad to draw that kind of attention, "Well then I'm gonna make a promise", she said holding up her hand with her pinkie extended. "I promise not to ever leave you alone, no matter what", she said with a smile looking around as they had slowed to an even pace. "We can always look around, maybe rest before pressing on, who knows maybe we'll run into the others as they start their journey, though if your really itching for a fight we could always spar together", she suggested but noted his hesitation while he scanned the area, not quite understanding but didn't question it.
