Thinking for a moment to connect who the Eternal Rose is, he smiles upon the revelation. While maybe not ideal as Calistria, it's certainly not a bad match otherwise. Perhaps even favourable. "You know..." he begins, slowly, trying to chose his words carefully. He doesn't want her to break down again. "...I must admit that the Savored Sting is my first an' foremost love, even moreso than- well, regardless. There was a dream, an' we- ahem..." he cut himself short before the nostalgia caused things to be harder than they already are. "Now I know that it might sound a wee bit harsh, or disingenuous, or, whatever. But keep in mind that I'm saying this only because I like ye and want to be with ye." he continued, softly, gently stroking the back of her hand with his fingertips. "But ye know, that She doesn't expect monogamy from Her followers. In fact, polyamory is looked upon quite favourably. An' I'm not sure what Shelyn thinks about it all, but I dare say tha' the Goddess of Love would encourage love t' bloom, regardless of how many lovers yer lover actually has" he says sincerely, a hand on each of her shoulders as he almost becomes lost in her eyes for a moment. "Besides, how could she deny th' most beautiful woman in Sandpoint? Espcially one so sweet..." he says, lightly brushing his lips over her forehead with each point "...One so tender... One so welcoming... One so charming... "And one who is so intoxicating that a single glance is enough t' melt the heart of even th' most puckish of rogues..." he finishes with a wry smirk playing across his lips.
