[Ange doesn't seem apologetic at all about her condescending remark, at least until Dixon keeps talking. Then she does feel some guilt. That's...that's not necessary, she wants to say. She doesn't need someone to 'keep her safe'. She'll be okay...maybe.

Still, she can't bring herself to say that. Maybe she does want to 'be kept safe', if only because she doesn't remember the last time someone did intend to do that. Virtually everyone who said they'd help her betrayed her later, and the one person that genuinely meant it was someone Ange rejected in a bout of grief.

Can she trust Dixon? She can't. She doesn't trust anyone here not even a little bit. But...it's still nice that someone's taking the time to look after her when there's trouble]

Ah, it's useless, it's all useless.

[She only says that to fill the silence while she chews on a nail, thinking. Finally, Ange replies:]

Fine. You do whatever you want. But...it'd be unfair if I don't try to return the favor someday. You'll see.

[Yeah, she intends to reciprocate. She doesn't really like Dixon either right now, but she definitely's going to try to help him back. Just out of gratitude, at the very least]
