He sighed and looked away again, brows knit. With what had happened last night, he was unsure of what to say, how to explain his reasoning. It wasn’t like she would care, anyway--Allen Walker was her comrade, after all, and if a stranger’s words could shake her opinion of her companion, then it wasn’t a worthwhile bond in the first place.

"Because I..." I can’t stand anyone who threatens our safety.. His and Akatsuki’s. Anyone who spoke with such ignorance and naivety. It was why Aidou was so upset with himself now! To dare and shoot one’s mouth off and say despicable and disrespectful things like that, he couldn’t stand it. He couldn’t stand it at all. He squeezed his eyes shut briefly, catching the edge of his bottom lip with his teeth before he suddenly turned on her, looking beseeching. "You... Don’t you think I'm charming? Don’t you think I’m handsome? Why don’t you like me like that!?"

If only she’d go away, or be like a normal lovesick girl!
