[The blush on his face starts to spread out to his ears, and he's staring very hard at some random point in the distance. He's still not entirely convinced Wanderer means any of this the way Heizou hopes he means it. But it's hard not to feel flustered by what is most definitely meant to be a compliment.
Heizou never feels this way. He's rarely ever on the receiving end of this kind of thing.
It makes him nervous.]
O-Okay, okay! [He tries to let out a laugh to ease some of the tension he feels, but he's not sure it succeeds when his face is still so flushed.] You really don't have to go that far...
[Heizou rearranges himself so he's sitting on the branch properly, legs dangling over the edge and determinedly looking back out into the distance. Also idly rubbing at his flushed cheeks with one hand as if that'll make them cool down.]
The bubbles don't make me a mind reader, you know. [There are so many pink ones floating and popping around his head right now it's absurd.] I didn't... expect you to answer like that, that's all.

You're not the type to fish for compliments. [So he figured he might as well tell you.] Don't get used to it.
[It is Wanderer.]

Who, me? I wouldn't dream of it~
[But he does lean against Wanderer's side a little while they sit together. This is better. Less nerve-wracking.]
