He frowned a little. While they hadn't been close before and their last interaction had been anything but positive, it still disappointed Kyle to see her so distrusting of him. The soldier pulled his hands from his pockets to cross his arms instead, suddenly feeling on the defensive.

"Did you help?" His voice was infinitely more nonchalant than his posture. Because it was Kyle and he couldn't exactly help it, he gave her a smile, trying to lighten things up. "Come on, Caroline. I'm not going to hurt you. If you make me have to fight you, like if you attack someone I care about or attack me or whatever, then I'll tell you I'm going to attack you before I do. Deal?"

He dropped his crossed arms, offering her a hand as a gesture of good will.
