Or maybe it isn't just smug that he's right, but just a touch of something deeper. A kind of 'I see you' message - that very very intentionally stays silent. Zerxus might be the loneliest mortal in the world; they may have to take a tie on loneliest man.
He breaks the kiss himself, presses the heel of his hand against Zerxus' shoulder and shoves - hard, harder than human strength but controlled, and follows through by rolling his entire body over Zerxus.
