"Glad to offer it." The big wink she offers him is probably more than a little gratuitous, but his ego deserves the stroke. Especially if it makes him grin like that. Of course, the quiet isn't quite the same reward, given that he look like he might be considering something unpleasant, but she can leave that in his head for the moment.
It's her turn to grin. "It seems that I have some really remarkable muscle memory, I must say. Though that last one was a bit of a surprise. I'm not sure if that's a frequent thing or just something that happens when I'm really, really enjoying myself."
She tilts her head slightly, thinking that there was something not all that dissimilar about his transition from Eric to Blade and hers from Mab to Maeve. Well, except that his had been brutal and tainted by the way he saw himself. Still, there's a kinship.
Her voice is soft, respectful. "So you honor what Eric could have been the memory by keeping the fight as Blade. Thank you, for telling me that." And with those words some of the tension of his thanks disappears.
