Sophie sighed as he explained himself, gritting her teeth to hear that most of the problems were his own personal ones, even if she had been the cause of them.
"Is it problematic to you that I want to help and fix things? That I'm taking care of you in your time of need? I'm trying my best to undo what I've done, you don't have to be so grumpy about me sharing my experiences in our free moments. Calling me problematic and a cub, of all things," she grumbled, though she unconsciously continued stroking her fingers through his hair to soothe her bubbling anger and nerves.
"And only a little while ago you said you trusted me to protect you. If I am your only hope at protection I don't see why you would antagonize me," Sophie pointed out with a grumpy huff, unwilling to let his words push her away. She would do what she'd promised, he deserved that much from her even if he was incapable of showing any gratitude for it.
