[Izou starts to settle a little. As much as the animal part of his brain does want those platitudes, he also knows he wouldn't trust them. Because of course people have said that to him before, because he'd grown worried of it happening again and even without him saying so, people could tell.

The idea of McGillis staying with him even if he became a burden... A part of him rankles at that. What a miserable situation that'd be for McGillis. And yet at the same time, he latches onto it. Something only for him no matter what. Maybe it's selfish but the thought appeals to him.

Still, he can't help but laugh a little.]

Yer so inelegant sometimes. Guess that's all your fancy rich people training fallin' by the wayside.

[In favor of the child from the streets that McGillis is at his core.]

But so'm I so I suppose that's just fine.
