(He's not going to admit just how much of it was toward inappropriate thoughts easily outside of the little he'll reveal as of now despite himself trying not to go that far down the way. Perhaps this is him revealing that much involving how not so far from the truth she was about it for something else for her to keep in her mind after tonight.

It's already proving impossible for him to stop thinking of her already.

So she's going to have part of her wish with him being unable to think about much else even when he's out there fighting his way through the mages and whatever else the Abyss had waiting.

... hopefully he doesn't get himself hurt even as his face turns a shade of red similar to his hair again at the thoughts building again toward inappropriate.

Damn it, just as he got the heat to go down enough to not be as noticeable.

From strangers to him wondering what just happened to cause his mind and feelings to change. Even if that part of him that's fighting him over it still is quite honestly, he's not sure if he could dare bring himself to go back to his cold and aloof tones as he once did.)

I feel like if Kaeya was here he'd be calling me hopeless right around now.

(More like both of them. He's avoiding that mention.)
