Under normal circumstances, Hercules would be incredibly interested in seeing what Inara's inner sanctum looks like. He signed off on all her acquisition requests, had her carpet installed, assigned her crew members to move in her furniture, but he's never actually seen any of it.

If he could properly pay attention right now, he's sure he'd really like looking around, but he's still in something of a daze, sitting down on her couch simply because she told him to.

He does get it in his head that he should take off his shoes, though — he's in her house, on her carpet, he should be respectful of that and take off his dirty shoes. When she comes back, she'll find him fumbling with the laces and clasps on his boots with numb fingers. It never used to be this hard to take his own clothes off.
