Definitely works then.
I don't imagine he helped with ending things quickly or succinctly. He's a casually affectionate sort, so her suddenly being unable to touch or be close would have thrown him, but if they'd been together for a while he'd have wanted to stick it out and work through it. Also stubborn as an Ox, so that had to have been interesting at times. If she kept withdrawing, or maintaining distance he could have ponied up to the 'bad guy' role - he doesn't do well if made to feel useless or unhelpful, particularly with things/people he really cares for.
No problem. He wasn't, no. He's from a military family, so at first he wanted as much distance from anything resembling that culture as possible. He worked as a fleet mechanic for a while, had a short but (comically) successful stint in entrepreneurship (which still haunts him but paid the bills) and actually ended up following Leo into enrollment. It turned out to be a great fit. He loves the work.
