His first comment would have been a lot weirder before she met Cole. Cole has forever shifted her benchmark for weird. Not even by a measure of good or bad. It's all been expanded.
Nervous laughter and words that carry meanings unintended. Oh, that's familiar. Cho can't help but think of invitations for cups of coffee and the looks of confusion and dismay she never understood as she turned them all down. "You were waiting for anyone who wanted to go up there and might not be prepared to do that without some backup. Not waiting specifically for me in order to offer sex in exchange for money." Look at Cho and her fluency not only in English, but in foot-in-mouth-ese. It comes from many years of speaking both herself. "Backup would be very much appreciated."
If Cho has any doubts about Ben's ability to protect himself and also her, there's not the slightest hint of it in her expression or voice. She's seen Peter do some incredible things, and he's even skinnier than Ben. Finnick and Diego are both forces of nature, and while they've both got the bulk to suggest some toughness, they still don't look like they should be able to tear through mutants the way they can. If someone knows what's up there (and at this point, don't they all?) and thinks they can handle it, she's not about to doubt them. "I'm Cho Takahashi, by the way." She sticks out the hand that's not gripping the empty cat carrier for him to shake.
