There's a moment where he doesn't want to back off, but people need to breathe and this gives him the opportunity to drink in the expression on Faye's face. It's... a little perplexed and a little sweet and a lot smug and really pretty seductive. And her eyes -- they're beautiful, like pools of liquid emerald with onyx cores -- and he always knew she had lovely eyes but right now they look so alive.
And then she flatters him shamelessly, and it makes him smile... but softly.
"Then don't wait so long before the next kiss." He's pretty good at offering suggestions and advice; this is no different. But it's got a slightly different tinge to it: they've crossed a bridge to an intimacy they didn't share before and there's no going back.
He doesn't want to go back. Reaching for her hands, he gives them a little squeeze, lets out a satisfied sound and a sigh, then sits back.
"I'm glad you didn't leave."
If there were stars out there in the sky, he would hold her in his arms and look up at them with her. But as it is, he's fascinated enough to just watch her right here in the comfort and safety of his room through what feel like brand-new eyes.
