Andre quickly let out a hearty laugh in response. That was certainly the first time he had ever received such a comment but he almost immediately felt he understood why. In hindsight, as natural and insignificant as his gestures had appeared to himself, he realised that he was probably overstepping boundaries that would naturally be determined in the outside world. The realisation was almost enough to further embarrass the hyur.
"Ahah, my apologies" he began with a soft chuckle while turning his focus back on the girl.
"Would I be correct in assuming that my behaviour seems.. mayhap a little over the top?" he inquired warmly, unsure of how to best word his thoughts.
His gaze then turned away to face the river flowing swiftly further downstream where it gracefully met with a placid pool of water which hugged against a beautifully, mossy-green cliff face as he thought a little further on the matter before continuing.
"I was brought up in... let us say 'fortunate' circumstances. My family could afford me the more exclusive luxuries in life and as such, I was taught to show quite a degree of etiquette" he explained melancholically before turning to look at the girl once more.
"I quickly came to learn that such gestures were not as widely seen in the outside world... though old habits tend not to yield so easily" he added softly with a tender smile while appearing mildly bashful.
A small breeze gently caught against his hair, allowing it to sway lightly across the tops of his eyes as a final thought crossed his mind.
"A prince is typically a hero-like character, one whom is truly noble and any other would pale in comparison to. Unfortunately, I am not without my faults" he continued after a short pause in a more serious tone as his gaze broke towards the ground for another brief moment of thought before returning to meet with Clover's striking, emerald eyes. His expression suddenly lit up in a moment of inspiration as he chose to use the chance to find out something about the girl, as subtly as he felt he could.
"And what about you?" he began, speaking in a casual yet friendly manner.
What kind of character from a tale would you compare yourself to?"
