I might have agreed on that before Death Gun had the little chat with him. Like I said myself, he got in faster by having an experienced player explain him things, since he was too busy flirting with Asuna to read the simplest of tutorials on GGO before jumping in. Now, however, he knows he's a target already, so anybody close to him will become a target as well. Sinon might or might not be a target herself, as far as Kirito knows.

But maybe you are right and he is in fact consistent: He didn't give a shit about others in the beginning of SAO and now he doesn't care if Sinon gets drawn into his mess, as long as he gets to enjoy yet another girl's company. He's still the same beater deep down.
