Raju half-tries at restraining his smile, mostly for show, a silent faux-protest against Francis saying ridiculous things. "I'll be taking you to task after all of this if there's not," he says, amused, and gathers a little of the pine needle water in his hands to spread it over the lower half of Francis' face. Then he rubs a sliver of soap between his fingers and smooths it over Francis' cheeks, feeling the long stubble beneath his hands.
"You're lucky there's not much direct sun here," he notes as he does, studying Francis' half-uncovered face. "Once I finished you'd be half-pale. Much more striking than Portugal down there."
