The explanation's met with an almost odd look but it's partnered with a nod of confirmation, his hand taking hers. If she's an unusual patron of a bar like this then he's certainly an unusual john, not seeming like the type who'd need to pay. What he has in looks he makes up for in a total lack of social skills, at least, showcased by his lack of effort to make conversation when he leads her from the pub.

It's a short walk to a cheap hotel and he pays for the room in cash, getting a second glance from the man running the front desk but at least he doesn't ask any questions. It's only when they're actually in the room that he speaks again, taking the time to pour himself some water.

"Do you need anything? I doubt they serve food in a place like this."
