When she comments on how he's actually caring for another human being, he can't help but feel hurt. Stung in a way. Was that all she thought of him? That he was just some egotistical being? He doesn't know if she hugs him because she can see the pain etched into his features or if that's just Mara being Mara, but what he does know is that no amount of hugging can take the sting away from her words.
