[He's getting another kiss on the hand for his efforts before Lorenz lets go, so enjoy that one, too. It's been second nature to keep his various insecurities close to his chest and try to be the good listening ear for others, instead - so it's... different, to hear Wriothesley say to him the kinds of things he might have said to someone else, in some other scenario.
So he deserves the courtly hand kissing, is the point. Lorenz hums and shrugs to the point about his nonstop attentiveness, like, that's just how he is! Good to know it's an enjoyable feature, he supposes.
Now then, there has to be a more delicate way to address The Mess, but ooh that's speaking his language:] Please. I have never been more... sticky in my life.
[He's so ready to get out of here and wash his hair at least three times, for starters. He gets up to continue gathering his clothes, saying over his shoulder:]
You need not trouble yourself about my offer, for the record. I would never demand anything of you that you would not offer willingly! And if it causes you discomfort to speak of it, then I would not hear it at all. That is a personal creed.
[He knows a lot of people who hesitate when it comes to opening up, so if that sounds like he's had practice saying it before - yeah.]
