He would have done the same, if he hadn't been too busy grieving to think yet of going after their attacker. He might still, when the crisis is over and before his fury stills, despite having a first-hand example of how badly that might go.
"We're gonna get you out of here," he continues after a moment, as if that wasn't obvious.
