Oh. It makes Malleus' face slightly warm when Lilia says it like that, that he cares so much about Malleus, and he would like a moment to simply enjoy the way it sounds, but he is being called out. It's true, Malleus generally does not mind Lilia's antics. This is just- This is different in ways he does not want to try and explain.
Lilia is absolutely the only person who is able to give him such a scolding and such a look and live to tell.
Malleus doesn't break eye contact, far too proud and stubborn to do so - when has he broken eye contact out of embarrassment in his life? But he does inwardly acknowledge that the opposite position would be quite absurd. He is far too tall and heavy to sit on Lilia's lap these days. Which is sort of a pity; Lilia's lap was terribly warm.
"No. While I would suggest a chair is much more normal a seat, I do not wish to switch positions." But the fact of the matter is, Lilia can't keep squirming like that. "Sit still."
