Just enjoying the peace, then, I'm assuming.

I don't disagree. It's- more than a little invasive, but I have the feeling anything that might come of it could be worse.
...yours will be safe with me, if I can count on the same from you.
[earlier on, she probably wouldn't have considered it. but especially after their last conversation-- if he's willing to put in the effort and help, if he's willing to help try to keep them safe, then she's willing to try to build more trust there. as long as he ends up actually upholding that, at least.]
