"Bless you," he said instinctively, the first time Ammy sneezed. It was only polite, but he stayed quiet the next times she sneezed, looking around the cabin to make sure it was as empty as it appeared before he relaxed a fraction. The tension came right back into his shoulders when he heard the girl, and he followed Steve outside.

He was ready to back him up if something happened, also to usher the girl inside so that Steve could stay focused on keeping an eye on anything that came up.
