[Sensitivity is not easy for Rex, who hardly understands the nature of friendship, much less that formed between two people who are not partners in combat. Somehow, his bad attitude and nasty words are more easily forgiven when he's played a part in keeping someone else alive.
To add insult to injury, following the double-edged sword that was the birth of his explosive skill set, he's never really been rejected before, especially romantically. Not prior to doing something heinously stupid. In some ways, he's seen this coming, he should have expected it, and yet it still hurts.]
Yeah?
[He turns to the side, posturing, scowling. Rex places a tense hand on his own knee, burying gloved fingers in the synthetic fabric. Despite the seemingly abrupt change in attitude, he's obviously still melancholy, but anger has always been easier to lean into than sadness.
Rage burns hot, fiery, and so it too can destroy the things around him.
Sadness just bores holes inside. The damage it does seems far more... Self-wrought. Or at least, that's how he sees it.]

Or are you just lonely?
[He scoffs.]
Be honest.
