I mean, I do appreciate you going after him because I do worry. [He pinched some of Prex's fur between his fingers, rolling it absently as the Wyrdeer made his way back to the house.]
He's important to me, and I've come so close to losing him before. It's... a lot. [He let out a sigh that was loaded with emotion. Yes, Keith had been lucky in that he'd gotten back two of the people he'd lost in his life... Shiro being one of them, and Keith had lost him and got him back a few times. But he'd also not gotten back the other two, and that still hurt.]
It does bother me, though... when he does this. Like, keeps people away. I know he doesn't mean to hurt anyone with it and he has his reasons, but he wanted so bad for me not to keep him at arm's length, it feels... weird... when he does it back.
