...yeah OK, he's just going to stare at her a while.
Of all the times he's imagined first seeing Alex Drake naked, this wasn't anywhere near the top ten.
He's not complaining. He's yanking off boots, and socks and jeans and walking down to join her. He has no illusions. The shorts will be coming off. He's just going to maintain a shred of dignity a while longer, thanks.
Also, he averts his eyes a bit when he gets closer, so she has a chance to get in the water properly. In case she wasn't planning on giving him a full-frontal just yet, or gets embarrassed or something.
'It better not be cold,' he says, to the water just in front of him. 'A bloke's got some pride.'
