He drops his t-shirt to the floor and begins working on his shoelaces, raising an eyebrow at Ianto.
"It's not skinny dipping, Ianto, they're having a bath. You don't have a bath with your clothes on. Look, there are kids here and everything!"
Which means it's not kinky or weird. He pulls off one shoe and sock and swaps to the other, half scanning the crowds around the pool.
"Besides, if you linger around wearing all your clothes they'll think you're just here to watch and that would not be good -- Yes! Thank you, I can do that."
He carefully bats a Khali away from helping him off with his belt, presses his lips together to suppress unease and pulls off his other shoe and sock.
"Maybe you can keep your shorts on or something? Hey, can we keep our shorts on? We're just, you know, shy and... it's cold."
It's not cold, he knows. The khali he asks looks extremely unimpressed, but nods finally. That's fine, John is used to not impressing people. It doesn't even sting anymore.
