[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...
[He tried.]

[...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!]
