... Eula, I'm not going to also say it yet, what you believe might be coming. (Because he didn't want to say it now. She deserves it to be something better than this, something that will give her more time to relax with and even then... he didn't want to tell her right now he loves her. It might be better to say that he'll save it for her despite knowing how strong it is.) I... think we both deserve it to be at least not after we're both a mess, something more appropriate, not planned but natural. Even if it's obvious... (Because the thought of 'planning' to say it didn't really sit right with him. It should be a natural occurrence. Something that just flows from them not something given thought to and figured out step by step.
As much as he considered saying it now, he knows by now just how her mind can work once he finds himself also taking the opportunity to just settle his arm around her so that she could be more comfortable in the event that she did bury more into him knowing circumstances were different at the moment between them.)
... if she asks, please tell her Kaeya told you. (Just to spare himself a rather flustered Jean giving a look of betrayal knowing that he accidentally gave away one of her secrets to Eula. He half wonders what she might do with the knowledge if her attention first was to give Jean a birthday gift of it; was that really all? He near thought she might terrorize her more with the knowledge based off this.
Though that does count as terrorizing Jean to begin with. She never told anyone, only Diluc and Kaeya knew from growing up with her. Barbara likely knew but that was another story in itself given the sisters were having to mend a rift of their own. A thought he pushes to the side for deciding to give Eula his full attention again given that he did cause her to have another crisis in a short time period.)
... the birthday gift aside, I think I'm more sorry for not realizing something was wrong until after the Hydro Lector found me.
(The sound of it taunting him is going to irritate him for a good while by the small flare of his heat but he's not going to let it interrupt his recovery.)
