[Ah. It's impossible to miss the defensive tone. He feels bad now, but it's something that he needed to say. He rubs his temples wearily.]
Sorry. I don't mean to come on so heavy. I have rules that I live by, you know? They're important to me. Like really important. Nobody innocent ever gets hurt if I can help it. Nobody who doesn't have it coming to them.
[He knows that if he ever got caught between Boone and an innocent person, he'd help the latter every time. It's hard not to feel like the bad guys when they're literal flesh-eating monsters, after all. And he knows Boone isn't a bad guy, but they are both kind of... are, now. But he'd feel real bad about it. Really bad. He doesn't ever want it to come to that.]
And I care about you, okay? I mean, somewhere in between getting shit on by the rain and getting groceries and picking up way more booze and cigs than is strictly healthy, I found a good guy. You're the first proper friend that's I've made in this stupid place.
And that's why I'm saying all this stuff. And I know I'm being harsh, but it's cause I care. I care a lot.
