Honestly, for a moment Ange feels like he's teasing her - making fun of her in some way, because that's what she's used to. It's what all her senses have been trained on, and so they tend to see it even where it doesn't exist. Surely he can't be comparing her to his own daughter for real, right? That's too much. Family is too important for that.
And then, on top of it all, he gives her a compliment. About having a good heart, when Ange is trying so hard to hide away all of her goodness, making sure other people can't take advantage of it.
Her face only starts to take on the same shade as her hair more and more, and despite not having a mirror, Ange can tell it's doing that. It's the way her face heats up that tells her, really, and she turns away from Astralin in embarrassment, already taking a step or two in the direction of town. ]
Don't say that like we're going together! [ .. even going to protest that one, huh.
A true teenager. ]
W-We just happen to be heading in the same direction!
