Fragile can be taken in many ways. He clearly didn't like that he excessively treated the MC like he is fragile in the dream. Throughout the story he is quite rough so far, he is only just now learning how to care for others with a gentle hand. He hasn't even noticed he's softening up already. This is why he is baffled as to why he would treat him so gently/sheepishly in the dream
Now why the hell did they draw the MC as a soft bodied twink when he's supposed to be fit with war scars all over. I really admired seeing that he trains so diligently everyday, because it made the fact he didn't lose his edge even more believable. What the hell man, where are the scars he had all over his legs like chapter 10!?? I wanted him to be shaped like a runner of something so bad
