The sudden offer takes her back a little. Clementine looks at Joel and there's scrutiny in her eyes, weighing him up. Physically she knows she's not what people would probably want in an ally and from what's she's been advised (and experienced before) it's good to be underestimated.
She also knows her youth earns her leeway and compassion more than is often offered to others (and inside she hates that she has to immediately evaluate what is probably a simple kind offer before accepting). That's what this is, she thinks, it's good enough for her. If Joel really means it she'll do her best to help him and this girl Ellie too.
"Okay." Clementine says after a moment. "I'd like that."
