[ Childe nods in silence to her question, looking at her curiously. It's mostly just interesting to him that she considers such an offer from him a burden. He used the term himself, but... that was merely for her sake. He doesn't imagine if he said 'thrill' 'joy' 'honor' or whatever else she would have taken even remotely well to it as a sincere offer, nevermind something she would accept.
Either way, it seems like she's even more independent than imagined. Not a bad thing, of course. Just... unfortunate to him— if only because it's the one thing he does actively try to do: keep children like his siblings from ever suffering the reality and cruelty of the world, including playing the villain. ]
