He's a genuinely nice person who likes to help people. He probably thinks you deserve some kindness, which you do.

1/2;

So pity, then.

I'm alright with it being pity. I know I deserve it, especially in that state.

[The duck squeaks again. "People appreciate your company."]

I just wish I hadn't... broken down in front of him. It was incredibly unattractive.
Covered in tears and snot over his kindness, like some kind of child.

Disgusting.

I apologize - I don't mean to suddenly place all of that nonsense upon your shoulders.
I just feel... guilt again. I'm feeling guilty.

... For making you believe I think you aren't cute, I think.

[She doesn't know what to say to that first part. It could be pity, or something close enough to it that it's not worth arguing the point, and she also hates breaking down in front of people.]

Oh, no - you don't have to feel bad. I was just joking, I wasn't actually hurt or anything.

[It's probably better to leave it - neither of them really need him going on some kind of dumb tirade that he only half believes.
And besides -
He lets out a little sigh of relief hearing how she responds, anyway.]

Good - good. I do worry, sometimes... I know that the delivery of my jokes can often sound too, ah...
Serious.

I would hate to have a joke miss and harm you, instead.

If something you say hurts me, I'll let you know. You won't have to worry about whether I was hurt by a joke or not. -But I've got pretty thick skin anyway, it should be fine.
