His posture fell just thinking of how pathetic and unsure that sounded, and he tried to recover by turning to face her with a smile instead of like the awkward teenage boy he felt like he was acting. Are you okay? Wanting to come off as more than happy to stay but not quick to get utterly comfortable too, he sat down from where he stood.
