By reflex and habit, he cringed, as she'd always tended to overwhelm him. He wasn't used to someone who tended to be... giddy all the time. After all he'd come from a militaristic society where 'holidays' were 'celebrated' with marches, parades and the like. Guys played around, gave each other good ribbings and generally didn't show lots of affection. That wasn't what a 'Man' did where he came from, as they were generally expected to be 'tough' and 'strong', except for times and men.
