He wasn't showing any sign of anger, and was composing himself quickly enough as she approached. He was mostly mentally cursing the fact that someone had seen him. Yes, his mind was in turmoil, but in the end.....he was a coward anyway. Someone that wasn't would have still jumped and not stopped when someone had yelled.
"What would you be doing out here, my lady? It can be dangerous." He asked, keeping himself composed despite what he'd just been about to do. If his father heard of this, he was going to end up beaten for days.

She shook her head, making no moves to follow him. "Thank you for your concern, but I'm just fine, my lord..."

"I appreciate your kindness, but it truly isn't necessary. I'd be happy to walk with you a while, even if you're headed to the city, though."
