[ thank you, Natalia, for humoring him. Her comment shuts him up in a rush, at least, because (for once in his life) he wasn't actually fishing for a compliment, and she just gave him a pretty spectacular one. Genuine, too. Color immediately darkens his pale skin, and he stands a little straighter, linking his hands somewhat awkwardly.
She thinks he's handsome? Of course he's handsome -- but it's different if she thinks he is! An irrepressibly pleased smile floats to his face, and god help him, he looks exactly the opposite of what an intimidating demon lord should look like. ]
O... Oh. Really? [ how rare; Maou actually said something with no exaggeration or dramatics. ] Well, it's not really in my usual style... but if you think so, then, um, thank you.
[ the "thank you" is said in a smaller, more sheepish voice. There's a pause; then, taking a deep breath as if gathering courage, he nods to himself before looking at her again. And speaking very quickly. ] You -- you look very ravishing!!
