I like being around you too, you know. [Emery smiles and closes his eyes.]

You're like a knight from a fairytale, except you're also a huge dork. You're really sweet. I've never had anyone try to look out for me the way you do. [Wait, is that selfish? Does it sound like Emery only keeps Zel around for his utility?? Emery quickly adds:]

And you're really clever, you know all sorts of interesting things. You can be really cool sometimes! [Just sometimes though. See: Huge dork part.]
