That seems to work for her, if the smile she gives him is any indication. It's not a warm look, but not cold, either. She nods once, turning back to look over her shoulder and pay attention to her surroundings. Most of her fighting has been done in the vaccuum of space. Being on the ground, in the field is out of her comfort zone. He's right in that she doesn't fully know what being a ranger means. That was never in her job description.

But she's determined not to be a liability, now. Especially not after her last field mission cost her not one brother, but both.

The moment her boot makes contact with the ice, she frowns, and meets his gaze just as he calls to her. Her lightsaber's in her hand in seconds, and still—it's a surprise when the two creatures come from the trees instead of the ground. Jaina isn't an acrobatic combatant. Her lightsaber ignites with a snap and hiss, casting a violet glow over the area as her mouth sets in a grim line. There's just enough time to extend her free hand and use the Force to push one of them out of the way.

But that still leaves one landing near the guy who's for better or worse become her comrade. Her wingmate. Never again. She circles around and then dashes in, having used the time to grip her lightsaber properly in a middle guard with both hands.

"Are you all right?! Here—"

They're back to back now, and that one she'd sent flying is coming back.
