He kept his grip firm on her shoulder once inside, using one hand to lift her chin so she could look at him. "You said yourself he was a tough guy - I'm sure he'll take care of that creepy chick and be back in no time, okay?"

He loosened his grip just a bit, but kept his hand on her shoulder as he looked around at Yuffie and Lyta, making sure they had made it in okay as well.
