Having gone through a near death experience due to collateral damage from a rampaging god, he understands Sophia's predicament better than he's actually going to verbalize. There's a reason he awakened as a Ghost-type, and why he can't use his one hand properly anymore.

TBH, he fully expects pushy Valkyries in the case of Gwen. Since he's spent the better part of the last two years at the Tree, they've probably crossed paths at some point. It's an interesting thought.
