Roman's green eyes open wide, visibly taken aback by the honest apology. He fidgets his coat, feeling bad about showing his surprise. It's not Lord El Melloi II's fault, but he's used to not expect things from people. He doesn't think anyone owned him anything and maybe that's the problem. It's not a healthy way of life, but it's one that has managed to keep him mostly sane.

"Uh, well, you didn't have to-" he finally says, giving him a helpless smile, "But I'm glad you did." He thinks so, that warmth he experiences is surely gratitude. He gestures for him to sit on a close chair, one placed at Roman's right.

"You looked so content that I think everyone who knows you wouldn't begrudge your actions."
