It wasn't that being undressed was particularly bothersome; not if there wasn't a fight he'd want his armor for about to kick off. He'd stripped down more than once on the journeys out with Rook to clean off in a stream or lake. It was just the situation. The pomp and circumstance of it all made him tense in ways he didn't associate with nudity.
Cup back in hand, he took the arm chair, consciously trying to get his shoulders to loosen. The Crow won if he didn't, after all. Thinking along those lines, he wasn't going to let the silence sit for Lucanis to hold or break as he pleased. But with the whole situation making him off-footed he grabbed onto the first topic not about him to pass through his mind.
