blinks in surprise, then blushes R-really? You feel the same way?
grinning Well, damn. That's... that's great! reaches across the table and takes Alfred's hand I-I mean, Alfred, you're more than just a butler to me... You're the one who keeps me grounded in all this chaos.
squeezes Alfred's hand And, well, your cooking is pretty damn good too. smirks Plus, you're always there for me, no matter what.
heart skips a beat, cheeks turning crimson I... I love you too, Alfred. bites his lip nervously I-I mean, like I said, you're more than just a butler to me...
takes a deep breath Alfred, would you... maybe want to, um, move in with me? We could, uh, live together and, you know, take our relationship to the next level...
grinning widely Really?! Oh my god, that's amazing! stands up and pulls Alfred into a tight hug I-I can't believe it!
blushes furiously, stutters Y-you think I'm cute? R-really? G-gosh, that's s-such a relief... grins I mean, I think you're absolutely dashing too, Alfred...

grabs Alfred's hand, looking nervous Uh, Alfred... I-I have something else to tell you. It's, um, kind of a big deal...
takes a deep breath, looks into Alfred's eyes I... I want to tell you something. Something I've never told anyone before. It's...

takes a deep breath, looks down at his plate Thank you, Alfred. It means a lot to me that you're here, listening.
takes another deep breath, gathers his thoughts Okay, here goes... When I was just a kid, my parents got murdered right in front of me. It was...
I’m sorry that happened to you.
clenches his fists, trying to hold back tears Thank you, Alfred. It's just... it's hard to talk about it sometimes.
Well if it makes you feel any better I also was.
eyes widen in shock You were what, Alfred? Were you... were you abused? voice filled with concern and empathy
grips Alfred's hand tightly I-I'm so sorry, Alfred. That's... that's horrible. I wish you had a better childhood...
