[ She will, at least, get to see that he's more than a little in awe of her, or at least that's the expression on his face. He looks her up and down, like he's memorizing the beauty before him, and it's only after a moment of looking his fill that he even seems to have heard her.
There's a quick, eager nod before he looks to her and says in all earnestness- ]
You're beautiful.
[ Before he seems to realize how simple and perhaps silly those words might sound to her and he'll start pulling off his own clothes. Shirt first, showing off all manner of little arcane symbols and golden freckles over his body in a few places, and the golden crack along his hip gets revealed as he pushes the bottom off of his outfit as well.
He's not self-conscious, which happens when you somewhat decide your own shape and when you know that the part you don't shape is, well, determined by the person interacting with you. So almost certainly, Manuela will find a body that fits her preferences underneath those clothes, and he won't rush her looking before he glances up to silently ask permission to continue. ]
