Maybe. You say "attached" like it's a dirty word. [ His tone is mildly teasing. This is probably a good time to reiterate what altruism is, and that not everything carries a cost, but he's not really up for defending his position at the moment. Running a bit low on optimism.
But at least his impulsive decision pays off, with Savage not seeming to mind the touch. Even enjoying it? It has K smiling a little to himself, his touch becoming less hesitant as he pets Savage in earnest, even curiously touching a horn or two. For trolls and other horned species they often seem to be an erogenous zone, from what he's heard, so he's careful about it.
Coming from anyone else that might sound like a loaded question. He takes it at face value, considering his response for a long moment. There's a polite brush-off answer and then there's the truth, which is what he opts for. ]
I think... I'm easy to leave. [ His spouse. Boyfriend. Closest friends. Connections that he'd hoped would last, that gave him a reason beyond base survival to look forward to the future. All gone without so much as a goodbye. And if he stopped reaching out to the newer connections he's been making, he thinks they'd soon forget about him as well. Probably it's for the best, so he won't one day leave anyone behind feeling the way that he does now. ]
Loneliness is inevitable, I guess. How about you? [ Recalling his conversation with Maul, he wonders: ] Is your brother's company really all you need?
