Garrot quietly gasps as his buddy pulls away and ends up right in his lap. So much for gradual escalation! Her hands are on his chest, and she's... offering to share intimate personal details from her life? This is pretty much everything he had in mind to keep people from falling for the Wizard: charm and trust and intimacy. So he's not complaining.
"Of course." The verbal assent is deep and husky and almost sensual, like he was giving her permission to do far more than talk. Without breaking eye contact, his left hand moves to press her right into his chest, so she can hear his heartbeat. His right hand moves to her waist, firmly supporting her in case she loses her balance. And so he can pull her in closer later.
"You can tell me anything." For just a moment, despite the grim talks they're having, he wears a soft smile, before gently just... nodding.
