How about we cross that bridge when we get there? I'd do whatever I could to be with my true love. [So dryly. But he doesn't seem that mad, actually.

Part of him wants to say "what was I supposed to do, tell everyone I suck at flirting or giving compliments?", but at least he has enough sense not to do that.] Thought I did.

And anyway…I dunno. Guess it could have been phrased better.
