Wait, what did she think he was going to do?! She's worrying so much about the nature of this date that she's getting jumpy, her head filling with all sorts of silly ideas—she needs to calm down! It's just friendly—wasn't she just thinking about how friendly he is a second ago? That's all this is... she's never gone to a party like this with someone who wasn't her retainers or family members, so she's letting herself get carried away.
Besides, he... he's going through all this effort to make her feel more comfortable. And it works, her expression softening with gratitude—and a little relief. If he's there to help her out, then she doesn't have to worry so much about what to do in case she finds herself stuck. He can support her. ]
