Victor was flipping their bacon carefully with a fork as she began to reply, his hand slipping to jam his finger against the hot pan as she mentioned her profession. Cursing softly, he dropped his fork on the counter with a sift clatter to look at his finger, which was a swollen red in coloring already. Blushing from embarrassment, he would turn to look at her as her speech seemed to speed up, finding the last bit she said flattering but also, admittedly, adorable. She was being shy, and something about hearing that she was comfortable with him when she wasn't fond of other men was a generous compliment. He felt an tugging in his mind first to explain his reaction, to let her know that he simply wasn't expecting it, not that he looked down on her for it. So grinning in an apologetic manner, as if he had offended her though he sincerely didn't mean to, he would reply hesitantly, "I was just surprised, didn't mean anything..."
Then letting out a soft sigh, as if in relief, he would look at her with the same steady, gentle gaze he always observed her with. For a moment he was quiet, unsure of quite what to say, but he found himself shaking his head slightly. "No, please, I-I'm glad to hear that. I appreciate your company, and am very comfortable around you as well." One of his hands then rose to scratch the Sid elf his left cheek shyly, "Forgive my lack of social skills, I don't spend much time around others."
