[This is him taking that for what it is and still attempting to walk past, right up until she pulls him down and he makes a sound that's a rather undignified sputter instead of words or anything coherant. Why?
Because this is just embarrassing and ridiculous and unnecessary and---and his Growlithe is whimpering and trying to get up there with him before he can even say anything.

This is why he hates letting others see him hurt; everyone makes a fuss about it.]
