[He's never going to turn a normal color again if she keeps this up, gosh.
His gaze finds some undefined point off to the side to fix on for a moment, because he's flustered and things like that only make it worse, but -
- but then he takes a deep breath, and moves his eyes back up to meet hers, because while he has a feeling he already knows, that's the best way for him to be certain of what he thinks - hopes - is true.
And since Chizuru is a little thick, she may not realise just how flustered Saitou is at those statement.. because to her, rather than flattery, they're just the truth. All the men of the Shinsengumi are admirable in their own way, and Saitou is no exception. If anything, it's like she's able to understand him even more thanks to their moments here.
So she looks up at him, when he causes their gazes to meet. There's a slight hint of confusion or surprise in her glance, as if she's wondering why he's staring at her like that, but she doesn't want to ask it out loud. It'd feel too much like she's breaking something in the atmosphere here that way. ]
