That's kind of you; perhaps I'll take you up on the offer sometime.

[He doubts he will, really, at least when it comes to anything too important; but the offer is nice anyway.]

Assuming, of course, that you don't mind that I'm apparently the sort to get needlessly intense during parties - you do have my apologies, I'm not the best at casual conversation. ...Clearly.

[And that's far lighter than anything else; he's...a Mess but at least he realizes it eventually.]
