Smart, Zen knows in that very moment that TiNi isn't himself anymore, and thus had the (correct) hunch he would react differently to his flirting now than rejecting it like he did before. TiNi isn't himself anymore, and thus doesn't react well when Zen IS being himself, so he has to be OOC to make an OOC TiNi compliant.
Good quick thinking there as well, as that situation could've gotten nasty. Maybe Zen can slip away when TiNi isn't looking and get that space that he needs. But I can't really do a lot of predicting with your comics, so I'll just wait and see. I just want Zen to be happy.

Yup. And if TiNi were in his right mind he'd have realized what was going on. Pre-Beheeyem he HATED it when Zen flirted with him in non-Maggie form or implied any intimate activities that weren't something she'd be willing to do. It is seriously out of character for Zen to act this way, and very obviously a way to get free of a crushing grip.
