"I... Can handle myself." She's going to insist on that for now, to keep some space between them as she desperately tries to figure out WHAT IS GOING ON.
All things considered, Tifa wishes she was still fighting the giant murder birds. That's a fight she has a chance of winning. And more to the point, a fight that makes SENSE. The birds and monsters here don't suddenly stop and declare that they suddenly care about people.
But... The pain does something to help clear her thoughts, and leave her senses a little sharper. And she's pretty sure that whatever else, he's not lying about any of that. His entire demeanor doesn't match what she's seen aboard the ship or inside the Shinra building. No lofty speeches with hidden barbs and taunts. If anything he seems oddly direct, and to the point.
Again, she remembers that thought about five years ago.
Which means she has one more question to ask, and pray it sheds some light on the situation.
"Aiding civilians under attack from monsters...So what about Nibelheim?"
