That settles it, doesn't it? Alek can't close himself off to what she is asking, even if she really isn't asking. (It's the closest he'd get too, if he were in her shoes. There is something about her that is familiar to him. as he relates to her difficulty in expressing what she wants to, he makes a decision of his own.)

"Yes, you do."

It's said swiftly and without much room for doubt - at least not on his end. Alek brings himself to his feet, having made up his mind, and he stretches his hand out to her in offer. It's Cora's decision whether she takes it or not, this olive branch he is offering metaphorically and literally, but if she does, he'll take her to the Hale Manor. He knows his brothers would agree with him - they can't leave her alone with this.
