Lio is not... touchy. He's not open or affectionate. He keeps himself tightly in control because he know what can happen when he loses it. His anger had very nearly cracked that control, and now while those cracks are still closing, he's watching this human who looks so sad, in so much pain.
Who is still saying he'll fight for him. Even knowing what he is, Galo is keeping to his word.
His shoulders slump and he breathes out a humorless laugh. "Yeah, probably. But I'm fine." A little more bleeding won't kill him. What might kill him is that he wants to comfort this human. He doesn't like being the reason for Galo's pain. For all that he puts himself forth as the cold leader of the dragons, he cares. About his people. About the ones who rely on him. And somehow, he's starting to care about this healer who has shown so much kindness without expecting anything in return.
"You're an idiot," Lio informs him, holding out a hand towards Galo. Handshakes. That's human, isn't it? "I'm very glad I met you, Galo Thymos."
