When the cloth was released into his care and he held it to his face he studied her closely, taking advantage of her nearness to watch her. Some part of him knew he was working up a debt, but most of him simply didn't care. She was helping him and, currently, expecting nothing in return. It was a nice change.
"Thank you," he drawled, catching her arm before she could rise. He met her eyes, his gaze not lingering longer than was polite before he released her again and pushed himself up, peering at her with one eye, the other hidden by cloth and his hand. "Think it'll make me look rugged an' 'andsome?" Laugh at the situation. He sure as shells wasn't going to cry about it. "Sure could use the 'elp."
