[ However much he wasn't looking at her earlier, he's certainly making up for it now. Not so much in meeting her eyes, per se, but while she's across the room, moving around and apparently not paying him much attention, he's taking in every little motion, attempting to calm down again to some degree. When she steps out of her pants and starts to move back towards him though, that process grinds to a halt pretty quickly.
Staying calm and not fidgety while she sits right next to him and just watches is pretty much... not going to happen, and it doesn't take that long for his eyes to start looking around the room for safer things to light upon. But, when she starts talking, they flick back to her pretty quickly, bouncing to the tie and the hand on his thigh as the options he has to choose from are given successively.
The question then becomes how long or well he thinks he can keep up not actually talking. He weighs all the effort currently going into that endeavor and comes up with his answer pretty quickly. ]
