Headcannons and a mini scenario: 

- Albedo would look at you as you struggle to form words to describe the painting that he had described so tastefully just a few minutes before. You might struggle to form words, stammer, or say something completely nonsensical, but when you turn towards him again, he will still appreciate your opinion and say that it was a really interesting point of view and that he enjoyed hearing it. You can see it from his eyes that what he says is true.

"It's nothing to be embarrassed about. Different people have different opinions of art. And I really do enjoy hearing yours." 

 - Albedo would lead you to all of the hidden nooks and crannies in the museum, and show you pieces of art with less people around so you can stand together and just admire the painting
for a longer while. But really, you're just standing and enjoying each other's company. He
would purposely pretend to run into a few dead ends until you lead him out again though,
holding his hand when he purposely leads you to obvious landmarks and you'd know how to
get out to the main exhibition again.
"Well, it's good that we finally got out of there. I suppose you wouldn't mind leading me out
 from a few more confusing places?" 

 - He would actually try to touch the contraptions on display, and you would have to keep holding his hand for the entire time he sees something interesting so he would avoid touching them cause he prefers holding your hand more.
"This is indeed fascinating. But I wouldn't want to let you go though. Hold my hand a little
 longer so we both don't get in trouble?" 

 --- 

"Actually, Albedo. I really had fun today." You turn to him, looking down at your still entwined hands. 

"I'm glad to hear that. I was worried that you might not like it." Albedo beamed at you, and you felt a warmth in your chest just by looking at him. 

"I was actually watching you as well." 

"Really?" Your gaze darted away as you smiled sheepishly. 

"Yes. You are a work of art as well. It would be wrong not to admire you when we are indeed in a place like this." 

"...Thank you." 

"For speaking the truth? No problem." This time he reached out for your shoulder, wrapping an arm around you. "Let's go. I'll see you until your front door."
