Laugh for the Day

This is a true story:

Yesterday a guy told me that I have "precious eyes" (literal translation). He told me it was like I had spent too much time looking at the ocean on my flight over here, and that now the ocean was reflected in my eyes.

What can you possibly say to something like that?

I laughed a little (kind of awkwardly), probably blushed a lot, and then changed the subject.
