Damen casually steadies Laurent as he sways, like it's a natural thing to do and nothing he has to think about.

"So you would rather I didn't repeat myself until you're used to my affection?" Because he will. He'll say it in as many ways as he can think of until Laurent believes it. "I think I can do it in Patran, if you prefer."

Declaring his love may or may not be the only Patran he remembers how to use off-hand because Damen has priorities and they're almost universally bad.
