[He turns his back on the portal, his cheeks flushing as he rubbed the back of his neck.]
Of course, depending on who sees this, I might not get a choice on him knowing.

I think he'd like to know how much you care about him. No one is immune to doubt.

He's doing well here, and doesn't need the reminder of that.
[He has a wistful look on his face, but he isn't hiding anything. It's all written there for anyone to see.]
