The honour?

Well, flattery has always worked on him. His frown softens, disarmed, and he reaches up a hand to gently push loose curls out of her face.

"I will see you safe," he assures her. "Let us brave the storm together, and overcome it."

After all, isn't that the idea? That friendship makes you stronger, things are easier when you do things with someone else you trust? He lets his hand drop away, begins to untie the sash from his coat and offer it to her. It may, however, be too soft a fabric. Too fragile. After a moment of consideration he loosens the buttons on his coat, pulls the leather belt free from the loops of his trousers and examines it. Stronger, he thinks, although he's seen her change the base materials of things before. Does it matter? Hopefully nobody is watching him casually begin offering items of clothing to her, it would be awkward to explain.
