Eskander makes a small 'tch' sound when she swats at his hand. Look, he's fond of her. And if he finds her very attractive, well that's a bonus, isn't it? Of course, if he hadn't, then he never would've accepted the job in the first place (at least not at the 'price' she was offering). He slips his hand free of her but not before giving her hip a quick squeeze. Then he steps back, hands up in a mock defensive gesture.

"Look, if I can put up with that swamp, I can put up with waiting until the both of us are actually clean again..."

His teeth glint in a grin that's mostly teeth.

"So, your majesty, I guess I'll see you in a half an hour? Gotta get cleaned myself, anyway."

He'd suggest bathing together, but considering the public nature of it all, he's not sure she'd go for it.
