[The "if" that lingers and then drops off is about all the heads up Jack needs. Nui is ranked pretty high, by his recollection; without much of a decent weapon on hand, he'd rather not engage in anything too violent just now. If she's going to provide an out, then he's not going to look a gift horse in the mouth, so to say.

The first part will be set aside for her, then. They both know what she meant by that, so there's no need to address it.]

Well! You're right about that... Mayu gets scared when she's by herself for too long.

[SHE TRULY DOES NOT KNOW THE HALF OF IT. Or that "scared" in this case is synonymous with "probably murderous", especially now that he doesn't have to piggyback her around anymore.]

You'll be able to hold things down here on your own until Nui shows up?
