[Well. She didn't think he should go on his own, but he seemed fairly intent on what he was doing. When he offered his cape, she spent some moments simply eyeing it before she begrudgingly accepted. His explanation was perfectly logical as well. It wasn't that it was personal. It's that he was doing what was best for all of them in the long run.
