It's just possible that nobody has ever told him not to apologize for feeling. Hurt feelings, and acting on them, he thinks, is a large part of what broke up the bond between Merlin's apprentices. He's never been good with feelings, taught from an early age to repress them. It's a habit he's never unlearned. "My... feelings are not your responsibility, though, and I wouldn't wish to burden you with them." He gives that sheepish little smile at the kiss.
"But I am glad you're whole and well this morning. I don't like battle either, but if you run into one again, just remember that I do have experience in it? You can always call on me as an ally." He's aware his mobility is ever an issue, but she's seen how powerful his shields are, and he's a resource as a tactician if she's not in the thick of things.
Finally, he picks up the roll again and actually tastes it. "Mmmn. And these are brilliant!"
