hey brit - don't read too much into the slight withdrawing
as ces says - it's not linear - and it will back and forth. the key here is to be consistent on your part, so that eventually he can feel safe. he'll keep dipping in and then getting out and if there's the same consistency form you, over time he may learn to trust that it's going to be safe
at least that's my take on it
don't let it chip away today - just focus on how he took care of things - and appreciate him for what he did and leave it at that.
glad your friend is visiting you - hope you have a wonderful time together
