[ Probably not, but at least they have the unique relationship to where if the choice was removed, it isn't as though any potential distress couldn't be communicated otherwise. If he actually wants her to stop at any point, directing the emotion towards her is probably more straightforward than actually saying something. Similarly related is likely one of the other contributing factors to why he listened to her in the first place - if he actually does feel like he needs to, there isn't much that's going to stop him getting out of this. Although that would obviously take quite a bit of needs-to.
Immovability makes him stop shifting, releasing the rest of a breath quickly through his nose to vent the frustration but otherwise taking the hint well enough. It doesn't mean he stops watching her, even when he knows she's doing the same to him in return, and for similar reasons. At the words though, he's back up to her face, no flicking around, raising his chin a little and setting his jaw, because yeah, okay, he has been, he admits it, but he still feels justified in his reasons. Maybe not quite to have been an ass to her, since she didn't know, doesn't know, what or how many his reasons are, but part of being an ass is not explaining yourself and he's never been very good at that, just ask his geometry teacher, and he isn't about to start right now. For the moment, he still doesn't say anything, but he keeps looking at her for a few seconds before looking off to the side instead. ]
