"Who told you such lies? You're lucky I have self-control and remember at least some propriety and remind myself I'm not allowed to instigate pursuits of affections." Teasing him lightly, it was actually true. She may flirt and make her interest known, but actual pursuit was not something she did on account of men not liking that sort of behavior. "That and you're..." She struggled for the right word before turning her head to nuzzle his hair. "I value you too much to be so forward without your consent. Is that a good way of wording it? I can be amazing with words or really awful."
But the fact he kissed her and gave something so precious to her made her kiss just behind his ear softly. "I promise you... it is a kiss I will treasure in my memories." That she will likely taste and feel every time she closed her eyes.
Gently kneading his scalp, she smiled just slightly at his words and desire to make it better. "That's good enough. It's more than I expect... I know... if you'd been there... you would have saved me." She knew that without a doubt in her mind. And maybe then she would have known what it was like to be held by someone that cared after the sudden 'demon' appeal her parents accused her of...
Standing there a moment longer, she didn't move until he'd told her he liked it. The smallest of smiles pulled at the corner of her lips and she tucked dark hair behind her ears. "Let me check for your clothes... then I'll wash your hair. I promise not to look." Turning away, she finally opened her eyes and hurried to the door. After a quick discussion with the cabin boy, she took the clothes and scurried back in.
Moving back to Alec, she never looked at his bare form and simply set the clothes for when he got out then grabbed the soap for his hair and the tumbler he'd drank out of before. Closing her eyes again, she set them on the floor then slid back to her knees. "Tip your head back for me? No point going under water and getting your ears flooded." She rested her hands on the side of the tub waiting for his okay, eyes still closed. She could help... and still respect his privacy.
