Still. I think that was-- something it helped to hear, at the time.
[after everything that happened there, especially. for him to keep her close, too-- it helped.]
It was the right gesture to make.

[maybe slightly lighter in tone:]
It was nice to see you taking a little more initiative, too.

Let me put it this way. I think that's probably the most unintentionally romantic thing someone's done to me.

Well, no. He would've lunged at anyone in the same predicament, but he definitely wouldn't have said the things he did, and he perhaps might've done it a little differently. Therefore, it is not the same.
