The stroking feels nice, as comforting as it always has - but its... different this time, and he can feel that. He's sure his cheeks are pink, but he's not even thinking about that right now - he'll shift forward on the table, setting down his rose beside him, before he takes Once-ler's hand in both of his, smiling fondly as he focuses on the green glove.

"It doesn't matter whether you're 'good' to date, or not. As long as I can be by your side, I'm happy."

He'll focus his smile on Once-ler now, just watching him for a moment.

"Thank you."

He'll stand up enough to lean forward, pressing his lips to his forehead.
