[There would absolutely be fidgeting, pacing, and potential desperate attempts to just walk away from the conversation entirely, so it is definitely good that it's happening here.
...
....that last comment, it...
...there's a warmth that floods through his body, upon hearing it, and Sycamore can't resist reaching out and placing his free hand on Lysandre's thigh.]
....are you...sure?
[It's a stupid thing to say, he knows, yet his voice just cracked again and goat or not, it's suddenly hard to contain his emotions. But for the first time in a while, he's actually looking up.]
[At least he's not the only one who isn't completely sure what to do with his expression, particularly in the face of one of the sweetest things he's heard in a while. Sanguis must be hellish, for multiple reasons (including the horribly rude scales with the audacity to grow on his face), so...]
[Oh no, he tried so hard...all right, that's going to make Sycamore laugh, and it's....relaxing, somewhat. A far more pleasant release of the tension that's been building up, compared to the other scenario he was worried was going to happen (i.e. holding these goats while crying).]
I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to tease. It was just...very sweet, that's all. I'll do everything I can to make it worth it.
[Starting with your birthday, but that's going to be a surprise........]
When I first arrived here, I wasn't sure how this was going to be. Whether things would work out between us, if you would even want to speak to me... I wouldn't have blamed you for not wanting any of it.
Things have already been far better than I could have expected. I'm happy, truly.
I understand why you thought that way, but...I have no regrets. I was never going to ignore you. Now look! You're stuck with me.
[Just to emphasise that, he'll shift over a bit (ensuring he doesn't wake the goat, of course) and lean against your shoulder. Time for some chroma; they deserve it.]
...thank you, by the way. For telling me all of that. I know it can't have been easy.

It gets him to look over, at least, and he doesn't seem sure what to do with his face, but...]
Yes, of course.

Do you know how romantic that sounds?
[That hand is back on your cheek, by the way.]
Or are you just doing it unconsciously?
no subject
It's...certainly not something I'm doing on purpose...

[...Don't go anywhere, that's nice.]

Honestly, I think I agree. I'm not complaining, though. I could talk to you all day, about anything.

...okay he can admit that was gross, let him try and be less heart-eyes in your direction-]
With or without the goats, as cute as they are.

You almost salvaged that one. I'm proud of you.

[Might be cuddling into your shoulder a bit more, but. Ugh!]
