"No, I wouldn't be," he says, quick to agree. Goddess, does this woman think about anything else? "Someone like you-- I'm sure you have... Very discerning tastes. I would hardly know where to start."
And it's true: he doesn't know where to start with her. But he'll need allies very soon now, and as they say, beggars can't be choosers. And there's certainly something to be said for having such a straightforward person as an ally. No fear of a betrayal (like he might have if he was asking this of someone... Well, more like himself.) At the very least, it'd be useful having her around if he ever needs someone to take a fall for him.
"I hope that won't be a dealbreaker," he says, looking past Apollo and at the innkeeper, nodding his approval of her request. Doesn't hurt to remind her who's hosting her here, after all.
