Seriously, what about him changed since they met?? Whatever, not important. He'll accept the somewhat back-handed compliment considering the fact that she's kissing him like he's the hottest guy in the whole world. Too bad "Quentined" doesn't roll off the tongue nearly as well as "Jinxed."
He feels her mind calming when he talks to her, though, and wow, that's a first. You've gotta be in pretty bad shape to find a sense of stability in Quentin Quire. Is he up to the task of being that for Jinx? Probably not. Would trying be doomed for failure since he appears to be chronically incapable of getting his shit together before inevitably ruining everything? Almost certainly. Is he going to try anyway?
I mean... maybe? It gives him warm fuzzies. And no, he feels no urge to unpack why. There are more important things to think about right now. Like the countertop digging into his back, how uncomfortable and inconvenient it is to bend down like this, and how steamy this kitchen has gotten in the last couple of minutes. He pulls away but makes sure to give her his most roguish grin so she doesn't feel rejected.
