Alistair was quite thankful that Mister Echelon seemed to just accept what he said. He still didn't know if it was an actual thing for other men to be discreet around one another. It was definitely a thing for himself though. He couldn't quite say why. He just knew his eyes had an urge to linger a little too long on various aspects of the other mans form.

He managed a laugh when the other man splashed water towards him. "Not quite but we should race anyway," he said. Anything to keep moving and to keep his mind off of places they shouldn't roam. Especially when he wasn't sure why they were roaming such places in the first place.
