Rhocanth let Falina settle to the ground, his hand resting gently on her back. He smiled fondly, fully intending to say something in response, when her kiss hit his skin.
Suddenly he'd quite forgotten what he was about to say.
"Ah... well..." He laughed in surprise. It wasn't that he was necessarily romantically shy, but he hadn't seen it coming at all. Surely he would go all silly now, stumbling over his words the way he was, and still feeling that heat coming off his cheek, even hotter where her lips had just been. He tried to think, for a moment only coming up with a lopsided boyish grin. Finally, he managed to say, "Why, thank you. It always helps to have a lady's favor."
Speaking of favors, it would do no good to receive one and not return one. With his hand still on her back, he leaned forward and softly pressed his own lips to her cheek.
