Prosody is such a vital aspect of co regulation, it makes sense to me that you would be testing prosodic temperature in this context and for safety in communication.

Dear Russ, I’m so glad that whatever I have said has inspired you. I think you’re so on fire with your own inspiration and immersed in this wondrous creative process that one would only need to blink in your presence and you would have another eureka moment. ;-) All of this to say that I find you very generous in your acknowledgments - and I feel very honored. Thank you. It is a joy to be so near to you, witness and be in any way part of your creative process. Namaste. 🥰💗🙏
