It always has been how they work, and he'd have expected nothing less. Besides, for all that he's not always patient in other areas of his life he can - and always will - wait for her. Besides, for all that he might tease and prod, the process of getting anywhere is just as enjoyable as anything else.
As is the fact that she's already drifting closer, until her hand is resting over his. It's a small thing, yes. But one that means just as much now as it had during there flight and even he can tell that she is relaxing, bit by bit. And to be entirely honest, he could ask for nothing more. Not when knows very well that asking her to not do anything to plan out their vacation would have been a lost cause.
(And he means to do everything in his power to make sure that she doesn't lose him any time soon. Not now that they have take their relationship to another level.)
"Why, Helen," he murmurs. "Are you saying you consider me important to your work?"
It's at least half-way a tease, given the amusement in his eyes, but he can't deny that he might like being important to her, if absolutely nothing else.
