"The curse was spreading for a while before I could contain it," Zelda explained, "So if we could go through the whole ship - I think that would be helpful." She was not trying to waste his time just so she could keep an eye on him - especially because time was so important here. But they had to be thorough, and that meant checking every nook and cranny on the ship.

That they had at least kissed for several minutes in multiple rooms of the boat was not lost on Zelda; she was not particularly excited for the shameful part of the tour. Well - at least Alfred was over her, so only one of them would be a little miserable about that.
