Riza's words reach him but get twisted to be a signal he's in the 'friendzone.' Had he been in a more optimistic mood he might have kept in mind that he has much to remember still or that the fact she had come for him personally and not for a job meant an awful lot. He might have even asked her for more clarification, to know for sure if anything he felt was mutual. Apparently Roy is busy replaying his band mate's warnings the night he had gotten the tattoo instead.

He takes a deep breath and forces his posture upright again. He'll be better off groaning and expressing his pain over being 'shot down' while alone. Doesn't this woman who traveled light years to save him deserve the honesty and strength of a commanding officer?

Roy looks into her eyes again, under the impression he looks calm and collected, though in reality he's unnaturally stiff and keeps holding his breath between words. It's a sight often seen after the men on the team at home had been teasing him relentlessly about something for an extended period.

"It's more than just the album. I made an unfortunate decision while I was intoxicated, desiring to express my... inappropriate feelings." He tries to roll up his sleeve but he's wearing a nice taylored shirt, so with another deep breath and a look of determination he glances around the restaurant to make sure nobody is looking in their direction. He then proceeds to cast off his vest and start unbuttoning the top half of his shirt buttons.
