[Sure, it's noble, but she was guessing these people didn't play by the rules.] You've been here a month, do you really think it's gonna miss you every time? That you're invulnerable to what might happen? Say you don't have sex, say you carry on being you and toughing it out. Say... say it works for a few months.

What if that's their test for you? What if rather than going after you they go after everyone you've grown to care about as a punishment? The people you've fought so hard to protect here?
[Because she knows him and anyone in need of protection would be hard to resist given his nature.]
I'm not saying it would happen, but... [Considering she'd been pulled in by like-minded people once before? Yeah, she's not betting on a happy ending around here. Rather than continue, she draws the corners of her lips into a slight purse for a moment and gives a little shrug.]
