He might find she doesn't always need a shield though. At least if the forces they are meeting are somewhat normal in power and aren't like him. If they were all going to be like him she might have a small problem. Then again, she'd still try to fight.

SHe felt him pull at her, almost like a hug, which made her smile. She's personally used to having someone at her back. Anakin was there, and if not, someone else generally. Even if it was just Rex, or Obi-wan or Padme, or the Clones... or even Ventress that one time. She'd managed to do things on her own as well though. No one to have your back was hard, but manageable, which is why she had respect for someone who had to do it all on their own. She wont diminish that, but also, she'll gladly fight with him.

On landing though she shook out her legs and took in the view. "At least we can see from a good distance here." She said, moving a few steps behind and near by him, only to pause at the sound. At the shaking of the ground around them. She seemed to drop into a cat like reflex of 'ready' as she looked and saw it. The tank. Followed by other things. Her eyes narrowed.

"Clankers." Her hands flexed and she skidded to a stop right next to him, to make sure he saw what she was looking at too. "That is, if my eyes aren't deceiving me. I know those things." Or some of them, at least.
