Someone who had lived more lifetimes over than her, so he has experience with the kinds of women he runs into while he's stalking for a new meal or a fun pet to play with some centuries. And to be fair, she wasn't just out here for an easy stroll. Her emotions were running wild, so she definitely was out not because she liked the night but because something was bothering her. So he's fairly accurate too. Not that she has to tell him that.
Though at her question and the bite in her voice, his hands get held up in front of him. The Universal sign for unarmed or I didn't mean to insult. "I'm not saying you can't just want to go for a walk. But the odds are slim for that being the sole case of being out this late." He hadn't meant to offend, though research only got so far about people he hadn't been able to meet.
"Are you okay?" Because that had been his original question to her, to be fair. He let a hand slide to the back of his head and scratch at his hair. "I didn't mean anything by it, but you look like something's upsetting you." Which, really she can't deny, can she?
