[Could she really think of no other reason? Even Arakita's guarded, bitter heart could see that was sort of-- sad. Thinking that's the only reason he'd give it to her. He's more than insulted, being the reactionary person that he is, but considering the context of her fucked up past that he's heard so far, it's.. something.]

I already told you, it's 'cause you're looking too damn skinny! Just believe that already!

[But he knows that's not what she's asking for. She's asking for his intentions, his feelings behind it, and thinking about telling the actual truth behind those is enough for him to change his tone from "aggressive growl" to "attempted aside mutter".]

I... Forget it. It's stupid. [He's stupid for considering these feelings that could lead absolutely nowhere but trouble, and she'd think he's more stupid than he actually is if she heard them.] But I'm not tryin' for that, alright. Obviously.

[If- IF he was, theoretically, wanting something from her even remotely related to that area (what the fuck are romantic feelings, he doesn't know), he'd make that clear if the situation presented itself. Theoretically. He totally wouldn't dance around it, trying to get a read on her with second-long glances through an embarrassed, narrowed gaze, and fidgeting with his hands.

...It should really be obvious that he's never had a girlfriend.]
