Not a whole lot has changed, to be honest. He still considers her one of his best friends, and tries to talk to her whenever he can.

However, he worries constantly about her, especially with the fact that she keeps getting hurt and he can't do anything about it. It's frustrates him, being far away from her, and unable to help, and would much rather have her travelling with him again (because he's selfish like that).

At most, he'll keep checking in on her.

Also of note is their promise to make everyone happy. He's taking that very seriously, and doing his best to stay positive.
