He can't stand the thought of Aleos belittling what he feels for Kaori, or believing that he could somehow care about her more.
Which means he's just proved himself wrong, hasn't he?
He re-tightens his glare, trying to seal himself off as much as he can, hating how vulnerable Aleos has rendered him.]
