It only takes him a second to make a decision, even in his haze, when she offers her hand to him, offers a way out.
He's responsible for looking after her and he never should have left. They're both in danger, which reasons that they both need a way out. They both should go, and while Jaeger doesn't want her to see what he's become, what he's capable of...he'll live with those consequences if it means keeping her safe.
"Just to be sure." The hand that takes hers is big and calloused, holding lightly for all the strength there. As if she's fragile, and he's afraid of her breaking apart on him.
