It's the most 'intimate' physical contact he's ever initiated with her, and the weight isn't lost on her. It's hard to find it comforting, given the seriousness of the situation... but she appreciates it all the same. Where she might have jerked away and snarled a 'Don't touch me!' four or five months ago, she only looks up at him.

There's no grin on her face. Although she's been generous with those quiet, determined smiles of reassurance, right now she just looks perfectly serious, albeit fairly calm, given the circumstances.

"I will..." is what she first murmurs, gaze sliding off of Cooper's face and off to the side, thoughtfully.

But then it snaps back to him after a second or two, and although there are still traces of fright lingering on her face, there's a certain grim, hardness in her eyes. Part of it is resigned, somehow-- but an equal part of it is something else. Something steadfast and sure.

"This isn't the first time something like this has happened. ... I'll be fine."

Although it could easily be mistaken, there's something about the way she says 'something like this' that indicates that she does not mean other encounters with BOB. Not specifically, anyway. She's already told him about the times she's seen his face.
