[He... doesn't really know what to do with those words.
Saitou didn't consider himself a lonely person at all—maybe during missions back home and certain jaunts here, it was lonely, but it was only ever temporary. Just knowing that his friends would be there when it was all over was more than enough for him. He had people to come home to, and that was enough.
Maybe that's why his feelings are mixed. He knows that she is earnest, and he would be lying if he said that he didn't like having people he cared about close by, but he didn't think those temporary bouts of loneliness were worth fussing over. It was worth it if it meant everyone (both people he knew and people he didn't) would be safe in the long run.
Not to mention...]
You realize that it could be dangerous, correct?
[Most people would probably just accept it, but not Saitou. The thought was nice but he did things the way he did for a reason. If she didn't know that, then she needed to.]
