"I must say, you look quite-" you can barely notice the hesitation where he realizes that he's used the word 'lovely' far too much in this conversation, "pretty," he finishes. "Especially since you've only just arrived! Then again, I suppose it doesn't come as a surprise that someone as generous as yourself would be so composed and enchanting."
I'm glad to hear it! I'm always worried about the balance I strike with him.
