Not by choice, in any case. With her speed and agility, and with Ramza's armor slowing him down, Yuffie could likely evade him and continue on her own, if she chose. The ninja that had fought by Ramza's side had come and gone as they willed, without their commander being able to stop them.

"I won't try to stop you. I only wish to make sure you are safe." He had seen too many friends, too many cheerful young people like Yuffie, struck down by enemies. He did not want his newest friend added to their numbers.
