By the time Eskel makes it back to the inn, she'll have stashed his purchases in their little room and then immediately left again to sequester herself in the stables, finding Scorpion's stall and fussing over him to give herself something to do with her hands. She can't exactly groom him or do anything useful, but she can pet his soft nose and mutter grumpily to him, and he very kindly obliges her by listening patiently.
