"I am leaving these for you, to protect yourself and the others." He paused and moved to stand in front of her. His gloved hand reaching for her other, so that he captured each of her smaller hands into his larger ones. Bringing them up to his lips he brushed a kiss over the knuckles of each.
"You know I'm going to look for Hood. I want you to stay here. I want you to promise me you will." He knew she was brave, he knew she could handle herself. "If you do not I will be worried the whole time I am out there." He pointed out. Not exactly the safest thing to do when attempting a search and rescue.
