Expression twisting in a sudden surge of emotion that leaves his throat feeling tight, he can't even respond to her. He just blinks rapidly for a moment, a flutter of stark white eyelashes trying to chase back a sting.
He kneels without another word, on one knee with his cloak out around him. Behind, the dragon rumbles and watches impassively, as does his golem. Shifting its weight for a moment between its great hind legs and the knuckles of its wings, like it's lowering itself a little or getting more comfortable.
He bows his head as well, and thinks it's a good thing she can't see his face. ]
