"I am sorry to bring this trouble on you." He looked down at the weight of her gaze, bowing his head in apology. He hopes they do not meet any hostile creatures, he doesn't want her harmed and he doesn't want any creature harmed.

He knows that things do not always work out like that but he can only hope that today at least all remains peaceful.

He's not sure how to react to her promise to allow no harm to him, or indeed what to think about it at all. He'd like to think she would have no reason to be lying, if she wanted to harm him she would have done it already. He mostly feels bad for putting this on her, for not warning her before they had set off. Would thanking her sound strange? He settled for nodding again.
