[ Urk. He wanted to talk about it, not argue with them. Or hurt her, as the pang of emotion seems to indicate. He's not afraid of her emotions or her past, but if she doesn't want to talk about it there's nothing to be done. ]

Eventually, she manages to choke back her tears, sniffling them up and wiping her eyes with the backs of her hands. The leather of her gloves stings a bit, but that's fine.]
...I'm sorry, [she mumbles, looking first to Shuichi, then Minato, trying to force a smile.] I... I wanted to use my Paladin Oath to protect both of you, but instead I just made you worry, huh...?
It's okay... that's nothing to apologize for. I'd...like to be able to help when you're in trouble too....even if it's just for things like this. So...
[So it's really okay that you made him worry, he doesn't mind. Not even going to bother trying to say he doesn't need protecting because...he totally does and he knows it.]
