Doing this on purpose. Estinien's expression becomes pinched with displeasure, which is really embarrassment at his own foolishness, and he heaves a heavy sigh as he rubs a hand over his warm faced. He needs to remember: he asked for this. This is an entanglement all of his own doing.
When he looks again, that second picture still remains, sweet and lewd in equal measures.
He resumes the call. ]
I doubt you are feeling any keen sense of regret for having startled me.
[She certainly is. It's quite impossible to stifle her laughter at this point, but she at least has it down to the occasional giggle, now that she's settling properly into the bath. Aaah, she'd been looking forward to this...]
Perhaps a little bit of regret...?
[Not that much, going by how she trails off into another giggle. The communicator is then set down on the side of the tub.]
Once I've moved in, there'll be no need for.... that. We'll be right there if.... if the mood strikes.
[ Despite the grumbling in his tone, his expression softens. There is a...value to this. A weighty enough reason to have driven him to ask, beyond the practical approach to their own safety.
He recalls Megumi's words.
He pauses, considering saying his farewells so that he can begin to see to the furnishing of Dakki's room, but he...pauses. ]
If you were to go out for an evening, where would you go?
[He grumbles, but he agrees, and that is satisfying enough for her. She closes her eyes and settles back and gives a little hum of both contentment and and 'so there', and expects the call to be ending shortly... when he actually speaks again, and has a question, it's a surprise.]
Hmm?
[She needs a few moments to think through it.]
I'd... if the weather's pleasant, I'd take a walk through the Greatmoon Groves. And then... mm, and then go for coffee and sweets.
[That's... a bit of a funny question for him to be asking. Is he trying to make plans? Oh...]
She answered his question, she agreed to his proposal, and now he is out on the street, meaning he has to focus on getting everything moved and arranged. It does not occur to him that he should have said why he asked...unless it is to be a surprise?

Thank you.

Not much of a surprise, truly. ]
