He does realise quickly that despite how it sounds given their current situation, what Eren says likely does not mean anything explicit. However... the thought pops into his head before he can stop it and he feels his face heat again as he looks away quickly.
"I wasn't going to look at you like that."
Augh, why did he let Eiden talk him into this, it's so embarrassing. At least there's someone else here who is just as out of their element as he is.
"But you can fetch me a drink, and spend some time sitting here. It may keep the attention of others off you for a while at least."
Eren half-means it to be suggestive. This is that kind of job, and they're both dressed how they are. But he's not the best at being flirtatious anyway.
Even he isn't too obtuse to catch the way Edmond's face colours though.
He considers saying something that will make it worse and manages to bite his tongue.
"All right. You have a drink preference?" Luckily no one is relying on Eren to make drinks, but he can go grab one from a bartender real quick.
He exhales a little sigh. A drink preference..? His preference would actually be to not be here at all but he's here now... so maybe just...
"Something not too strong," he suggests, making a small gesture with one hand. "I'd prefer to keep my wits intact."
Granted, in a place like this one, a drink need not be alcoholic to have alternative effects, but that thought doesn't occur to Edmond for the moment. He already feels strange enough telling Eren to go and get it for him.
