"Pleased..." A near-silent laugh of astonishment, and he kisses the top of her head, resting his face against it. "I am awed and grateful, and can only pray I may be worthy of such a gift. I would have you feel ever thus when you are with me, and not regret the things you have had to let go in order to make it so."
He kisses her forehead, then her nose, which is a little silly but makes him smile. A piece of absurdity to set against an otherwise almost painfully meaningful moment. "I love you. Above all else do I love you. I have wondered what I would do if you found you could not leave the Riddermark after all. But I think I could be content living in a tent on the plains, or a cave in Ered Nimrais, or anywhere, if you were with me."
