He snorted, quietly, but the delivery came before he could actually answer. He moved like a shadow behind her, and, before she could actually unlock, let alone open, the door, he was behind it, weapon in hand. Ready to deal with any threat that might come through the door, should there be such.
He didn't try to stop her.
But he was ready to react, if she'd made a bad call.
Fortunately, she hadn't. The delivery boy had a more extensive reaction to her appearance, but along the same lines as his (appreciative), and almost tried to chat her up, but he was probably instructed not to hassle the customers or he'd get fired, so he swallowed most of it.
When she was ready and closed the door, he was there, his eyes glittering in amusement from the shadows. "I've grown appreciative of my choices, yes. I wouldn't have called you the other day, if I wasn't trying. And you said you were going to take your safety in your own hands, rather than rely on my protection. You've survived long enough that I took your word on it - and I still will. Don't prove me wrong."
