Fiyero gives a thoughtful hum as he sips his drink, almost having finished this one too now. Kitty's very encouraging, which makes it all seem a little less daunting.

The reassurance makes him raise his eyebrows in more genuine surprise. When has anyone ever said that to him? (Well, occasionally, though it's a bit more fawn-y then.)

And then the bright smile is right back, a mutual reassurance. "Do I look like someone bothered by people criticising me?" he asks, as if you could tell from his looks. His behaviour, probably. (Which is not to say he doesn't care what people think, obviously.)
