Sebastian couldn't help but quirk an eyebrow at her.
He couldn't avoid inhaling a sharp breath as Aoife trailed off, the implication heavy even if the words never came. But the amending statement allowed him to relax a bit more. She'd only just arrived, the thought of being left alone to trouble and advisors and whatever other hell the world could throw at him... it wasn't appealing.
After excusing himself, he'd moved out of the room and down the hallways of the palace. It wouldn't take him long to arrive at his own room, crossing the lavish quarters to retrieve a clean tunic from his wardrobe. Something that was even a little large on him, that would offer at least a bit of modesty for Aoife. If she wasn't keen to wear something of his mothers - which he understood - perhaps she'd accept the offering of something of his.
Much to his surprise, he'd been able to pass between rooms without any noticeable eyes upon him. Returning to her room with no incident and closing the door quietly. Though Sebastian quickly noted he did not immediately see her. Confusion flit across his features until he realized she'd dunked herself under the water.
Sebastian draped the tunic over the nearby privacy screen, scooping up her clothes in the process. He'd drop them on a table near the door to be taken and cleaned tomorrow. Before moving back to perch quietly on the bed until she resurfaced.
Fall? Aoife, you know I'd not let that happen.He liked to think he had quick enough reflexes to interfere. Aside the fact, he could hardly see her agree to dance with any she did not know. In the end, he gave a light laugh. Even if he didn't see a need for it, he'd certainly entertain the notion of showing her how to dance. If only for the closeness it might offer without many questions from advisors or nosey nannys.

I brought something clean for you to wear,he'd nod toward the privacy screen once he was confident he had her attention.
