Honestly, if Boone doesn't want to talk with someone he won't- whether he lives with them or not. But Uldren is intelligent and charismatic, and has a way of making Boone feel at ease.
He seems surprised at the compliment. Not many people have told him that; Carla had said as much and so had Manny, but that's two people in over twenty years. "You think so?" He considers it, sipping his whiskey.
"I think the only people who've told me that were... people I felt comfortable with." Comfortable enough to socialise with well despite his usual inability to do so. "Guess it's the same with you, too."
He doesn't really react to the arm, but that's more of a good thing than a bad thing. He might have tensed up if it bothered him, or moved away. He's aware of it, though. He vaguely wonders if Uldren is just trying to get comfortable. He can't honestly gauge his own feelings right now on whether or not he'd want it to be anything else.
