Immediately he adjusts to allow Hythlodaeus to properly deposit himself there. The hand on his cheek invites him to tilt his head into it, drinking up the simple affectionate gesture.
Hythlodaeus' comment earns him a little bit of a smirk as he gazes up at him through his lashes.]
How gracious of you, I am truly so terribly lucky.
[He squeezes Hythlodaeus' hand, then releases it to put his arms around him, holding him close as he keeps his eyes on him.]
Now, will you stop scaring Byleth? He really doesn't deserve it, and I think if you gave him a proper chance, unclouded by my failings, you'll rather come to like him.
