For a moment she just watches him, scanning him for some sign of what he's trying to get from this before she remembers that's not what he's like. She'd gotten too caught up in her mistrust to remember everything he knows, everything he's come to mean to her from before the breach.
This is on her, her own defensiveness is getting in her way just like it always has, and if she's not careful one day she's going to find herself as alone as she's ever been without anyone left trying to get past her walls. Looking away, her shoulders droop again.
"I'll think of something." She says, stubborn to the last. "I know I don't have to, but I want to. I want us to be on even ground."
