He may keep it hidden, but there has to be some fire in him. How else would he keep warm in space? She doesn't mind that she gets to enjoy his smile more than other people. It's nice that it's special.
Perfection is out of her reach as much as his, however much some people might want to argue about that. She knows that she is what she is. Not being inclined to seriousness isn't usually something she considers a personal failing, but if he thought she was trying to insult him she'd have to reassure him very seriously indeed. "Very fond," she assures him without hesitation. "But still inclined to tease."
Her fingers curl into the spaces between his while they walk. The question gets a thoughtful hum from her before her head lifts and her nostrils flare while she takes in a deep breath. Pumpkin spice is an easy smell to follow. "This way."
If he can stand to let her take the lead, she'll thread a path through the crowd to the dining room. There's more food than he could eat in a week, birdlike as he is; there's more food than even she could try to coax him to eat in a week.
