He leaves his hand on the panel he's resting it on. He's here to drift with her and him being in his armor shows it but first -
"Me too, Gipsy. Me too."
He's getting better at accepting when things are out of his control. His natural tendency is to try to fix everything, to put his all behind something... He's learned to chose his battles and then, when he's sure, to throw himself completely into them. What happened in the Drift today wasn't their fault. It wasn't even Mako's fault. Sometimes things just happened. Part of trying to fix everything was the guilt when you couldn't. Raleigh had learned about guilt though and what it could do to someone. To him. He wasn't going to take that path ever again. Gipsy knows... but she's straight forward with her emotions. They're pure. Raleigh wants to do everything in his power to make sure they're safe to stay that way.
Which is why he gives her something else to think about - outside of his own Drift emotions.
