if he wanted for leona to go full berserk, he could've continued to say nothing. perhaps lead him down a dangerous path where he would burn out and then take everyone out with him. a disaster, when the world becomes sand and there's nothing left. in fact--- that's exactly what could happen. instead, he says what he does in order to temper that burning heat, that rage that has been cooling down and now is barely a simmer.
maybe it's not out of personal affection, if anything. there is a stark difference in how he carries himself compared to kaname. polar opposite. but why?
and why... is he lying?
himeru already proved that he would risk himself, though for family, anything is on the table. to have an opportunity to have his brother again, whole and safe, alive and breathing, is probably something he covets. he would want to protect him at all costs. and so, leona understands.
he won't speak about why he feels equally invested in kaname's health. he probably shouldn't. it'll be discovered in time, if it hasn't been already. but he would prefer leona over that tatsumi, right? right. ]
Well, I don't have to follow your rules, so maybe that alone will be helpful.
[ the beastman continues to smile in self-satisfaction. yeah. there are many things he can do. things that he could try. perhaps being a constant presence, something foreign and irresistible, selfish and self-serving... he could teach kaname a thing or two.

He's a good kid. I don't wanna see either of you suffer.
