He wasn't to know she'd react like that or he wouldn't have brought her up at all - who knew offhandedly mentioning the name of a friend could cause this kind of thing to happen?
"You said I should take someone with me and not go alone - well, she's not a social person. The fact that we ever hang out at all is kind of a big deal precisely because she doesn't like hanging out with a lot of people. I'm sorry, I just don't see the normalcy in basically bringing a bodyguard with me to my friends' house for coffee."
His own voice was quiet - he was pretty annoyed, but he didn't want to yell or anything. He actually didn't want to upset Hanako further at all, but he didn't want to compromise his own views either.
"I'll be careful, alright? I'm not going to wind up hurt. She's told me warning signs to look for and I'll get out of there if I start to see them. I don't want you worrying over things like that. I'll be careful. I'll be fine."
