[Honestly Alhaitham is more annoyed by the momentary assumption that Benedikta thinks he'd be swayed by some random woman for no reason other than physical attractiveness, especially when she doesn't even hold a candle to Kaveh, but since that particular misunderstanding has been cleared up he's perfectly fine with moving the conversation along—
—and said conversation now goes onto... well.
Alhaitham lets out a heavy exhale through his nose as he crosses his arms over his chest, a difficult expression coming onto his face. He sees what Benedikta is suggesting, and for the most part he does agree with her idea and sees why it would work, it is just... well. Putting on an act for Azar had been one thing, but the feign interest in somebody who he could care less about? That's a whole different thing altogether.
Then again, if he changes it to how he might use that 'interest' to his advantage... maybe he could make it work.]
Alright. [He voices out his agreement a moment after his exhale, dropping his arms down from his chest as he makes his way over to where she is.] What signal should I give to warn you?
[They don't have too much time before the woman returns, so best to quickly settle things while they still can.]
