No. How exactly is he supposed to stop being sad when she keeps Staring At Him With Them Big Ol' Eyes? He doesn't want people to worry about him. He doesn't want anyone to know about him. He wants to vanish into a silent, pitch black place and somehow not have that kill everyone on Earth. Is that so much to ask?
But her being lifted by his arm does have a two-second spark of tiny happiness, yes. He likes helping people.
Once she's on her feet, he claps his fingers against the same palm- a signal to which Indrik responds by cantering around Rex in a circle before settling between the two humans.
"I try to get him to exercise every day, so he might not always be there." Rex starts to walk towards the stables, maybe a little too quickly for her little legs- one step for him must be three or four for her. It's not on purpose, of course, he's just not used to hanging around tiny people. Indrik always does his best to stay equidistant between them.
