He doesn't speak at first, because he's nodding, he's nodding to her that... well, they're going to deal with Signy and Roffe. They will. He promised her. But also because the moment after she accepted, the moment after she agreed, he heard it.
It's on his wrist, after all, has been since they got back on board. And he knows what that beep is. He knows it well enough and he knows that his inmate was in his arms.
His... former inmate.
That's why, shaking, he kisses her temple and he'll shift her over to one side as he lifts his wrist. Werewolf ears are great for a lot of things, but especially for hearing a soft beep in the middle of a deeply emotional scene. And he gets confirmation as he leans in to boop the button with his nose. The 'find my inmate' button... that has nothing on it.
Hoooooo.
His breath comes out in one shakey long exhale.
"You never will, Ulla. You'll never. lose me. again. Because-" he swallows hard enough she'll feel it, "because you- you're free. You're free, sweetheart. You're free."

He buries his face against her hair.
