[It doesn't take him long to catch up to her, but even once he does he still hesitates before speaking.]
...Permit me to escort you to your room.

[It probably sounds like paranoia. Maybe it is. It's easier to admit to that than his more human desire of just wanting to remain with her for a little longer.]
