I am glad you didn't get spew monster, just maybe your little "talk" the other day and speaking your truth shifted things a wee bit, and just maybe he is starting to discern where his anger at the moment or whatever is really generated and not projecting it onto you (for the moment)...I saw a similar shift in W after I opened the cage...(I also had to learn where MY anger/frustration was coming from (work, bills, etc) through the last year and it is rather shaming for me that I took a lot out on W for a long time...ugh).
That restlessness is typical, he is trying to figure something out (whether on purpose or not is debatable, their minds are on overdrive with no governor)...W, who is a 9 hour a day sleeper in normal times, was extremely restless and agitated during the last year, maybe getting 4-5 hours of sleep...ya just gotta let them burn it out I guess.
