"I am sure I will. Shen-gongzi has a way of putting one's mind at ease."

Probably a better compliment than voicing that he finds the other man rather adorable. For starters, it summed his feelings up far more concisely. Moreso, he liked Shen Yuan's easy-going nature. His own mind and heart has been such a minefield of unbidden thoughts and feelings, it felt good just to speak frankly with someone.

"I only hope I can repay your kindness in the future."
