I'd say he's one of my best friends, if not my best friend overall, and—you should probably ask him about it. Yes. He says he doesn't know what it means, but I suspect he has guesses that he just... prefers not to talk about.
So much of his kindness seems reserved for quiet actions rather than words, but I've felt it is there, all the same, even if he won't quite admit that he does anything out of the ordinary.

Re: Shrike
I think I can also start to see the resemblance now, though. Er, in personality, I mean; obviously you look quite similar.
