Sean's eyes go wide as she rounds on him before his expression hardens, more hurt than angry. Getting his emotions flaring on a dime is always something she's had a knack for, and no matter how unsteady he suddenly feels, tonight is no exception. He really should have expected this, but he's not thinking any of it through, so she manages to completely blindside him. "It's nae the same," he says quietly, before his voice rises. For all the thought he's put into this over the weeks, he's never actually tried putting it to words, and it's proving to be a trickier prospect than anticipated. He understands perfectly what he means, but she just doesn't see it, doesn't see the problem, and he's not sure how to make her. "There's a difference 'tween bein' concerned o'er a person, an'... or givin' 'em cause ta worry, or... I wouldnae do that! Nae what ye..." He trails off, shaking his head and frowning at the way it all comes out wrong, confused, a perfect match for his frame of mind.
