[He's pulling back when he sees the faint blush, and unlike most cliché tropes, he's not mistaking it for the fever. Even back when they were just friends, he wouldn't have thought twice about doing the forehead method since it really is the most effective, but now he's seeing how more aware she is of him. He half wonders what she would have done if he had done this when it all had just been a (sort of) one-sided crush on her end.
Of course, on his side he's also become more aware of her, but his reactions are on a different spectrum. Rather than be awkward about it, if anything he's just more attracted toward her, which is probably why she's getting more teasing from than usual. Not that he won't ever feel that awkwardness (he certainly had before he had his feeling sorted out), and there will certainly be those moments, but now that he's more or less accepted this, he's gone back to just going with the flow. Pretty easy to do for a guy like him. It also helps that it's Leia, someone he had already felt very comfortable around. ...And teasing her is always amusing and he's a bully.
So there is a small smile playing on his lips as he eyes her a moment before answering.]
Give me a few minutes and I'll make you some porridge. You can be a good little patient and wait here in bed, can't you?
