He'd thought himself prepared for the site of Midgar in ruins, he'd heard what had happened to it, but the site of it was something far more than he had really expected. There were some landmarks he could still pick out to navigate by despite natures apparent best efforts to reclaim the place. So far things were going well enough it would seem, but he never trusted even what could be very well a temporary respite.
There were plenty of things he could hear around them that might at any moment take exception to their presence within their current domain, thus why he had pulled free Masamune the moment they'd walked into the ruins and kept the trio's rear protected by staying behind them as they worked their way through.
If he were to take the lead, something might decide the woman and child were too open a temptation and decide to act on such temptation. Protected from the front by the captain and behind by him, they posed considerably less of such an easy target. "You three can focus on the tree and it's guardian, I'll keep the cities other residents from coming to it's aid should they decide to do so."
