[He might have fallen for her joke had he not literally been a pet. If serving Azula and Zuko would pay him, he would take her up on the offer, but to hold friendship over him... he doesn't want for something like that as payment. He'd rather... other more physical things, and not necessarily money. Unfortunately, he's already property to someone else, even when they don't realize it.
If she wants to rile him up, there is only a handful of ways to do so, but she likely won't go for them. If she can figure them out, it'll be a surprise to him.
The few minutes he practically inhales the entire stick down to the filter gives him too much time to think, and instead of thinking about what he can do when he goes back in, his mind wanders. Hating that, since it's dark and uncomfortable all the time in his head, he walks back in.
If he notices that she's cleaned herself up a bit, he says nothing and moves to pour himself a little wine that was in the other bottle.]
Where should I clean next?
[Might as well ask her for direction, since he's got a feeling she wants to be in control of the situation she didn't want.]
