What really stood out for me was how familiar they are becoming of the presence of each other in their lives. She is attuned to his movements right down to the way he opened the door. His gaze seeks her out first in these harsh surroundings.
Their time has only been short, in the worst circumstances they are together, yet they are united in front of everyone, despite their equation behind closed doors.
She feels safe to indicate the reason fr chai, he rescuing her from any humiliation meted out by the kaki (shoe).
The chachi in her spy mode to discovering the truth is actually cementing their need to remain together.
I'm glad she brought out the chink in Rudra's armor. Paro is a good person, she would not relish in someone Else's pain/grief...it will pave way for her to start seeing the man behind the jallad facade he presents to the world.
