Say what you would about Anakin's predilection for pack bounding with anything which gave him a feeling of 'friend' but he cared deeply about those he bonfed with and that extended to protecting them.

Anakin pulled his lip between his teeth for a moment, feeling like he was being scolded for complaining.

He shook his head 'no' slightly, thinking about the answer. "No. Not with you here." Anakin chalked that up having another person there which warmed up the space and someone to distract him from it.
