Lilia is, of course, right; it is not as though they haven't been this close before. It's just more of a shocking role reversal than usual, enough to throw even Malleus off-
Ah, and this. This is familiar, too, when Lilia is suddenly gone from where he was before, and Malleus is left to wonder just where he will pop up. It's something he does often, but the push at his back is quite surprising for someone who is not at all accustomed to being treated roughly. Lilia is the only one who would dare, honestly, and the only one who would likely get away with it, though it all really depends on Malleus' mood.
He takes a slightly stumbling step forward. Malleus is strong enough that if he truly wanted to resist, he could, but... he isn't exactly opposed to the idea, is the thing. It's just strange.
"I am not being shy," he retorts. Malleus Draconia, shy? Lilia is the only one who would ever use such a word for him. With a heavy sigh, he sits down in the chair. He doesn't really want to fight; he's pleased enough to spend the unexpected one-on-one time with Lilia.
