Only a few seconds after Zel's shouting fit, it became<span style="font-style: italic">painfully</span>obvious what was really going on here. It seemed Larea hadn't been drowning, but sleeping... in a lake... when she was<span style="font-style: italic">completely and utterly naked.</span>For a moment he was so completely stunned that he forgot to look away.<br/><br/>His eyes narrowed slightly at all of her scars when she... ahem... displayed herself to him. One never would have guessed she'd had such extensive injuries beneath her clothes. Then the realization hit him that he was staring at a naked woman. "I'm sorry!" He cried, turning abruptly around. If one were looking, they might have seen what was visible of his cheeks turn decidedly pink. One might not have known before then that a stone man could blush.<br/><br/>"Um..." he stated after a few moments. "It's getting dark out. Maybe we should be heading back to the inn?" He offered, still facing away from her with his eyes closed, blushing fiercely.
