The nickname makes him smile. It's strange, but he likes it. He likes that Eric cares enough to have given him one.

"I.. have no idea what to do for her," he admits with a sort of forlorn sigh. "It was one thing to woo her back... when we're from. I felt I had a bit more to work with." A title, mysterious charm. He has none of that now - she knows him rather well.
