He was left to ponder alone in the woods. Having an innocent life be taken by a cruel and unjust beast was something that kept him up and night. He'd lose sleep (or, what little he would occasionally have) worrying about if Kirby was in the shoes of the one passing. He could never forgive himself if that ever were the case.
He didn't reflect his fatherly qualities to the naked eye; to see it, one would need to interpret carefully and study him as a person, in order for it to make any logical sense.
