Natalie's eyes went wide at the mention of whips and flogs, and she shrugged.  "Whips and flogging sounds like a bit much," she admitted.  "I don't see how anyone could actually<em>like</em>getting hurt like that," she mused.  "Of course I wouldn't know, but it just seems like something I wouldn't like."<br/><br/>She considered his offer, wondering if he was serious, or if he was making fun of her for her ignorance.  He seemed decent enough though, and she hoped he wasn't the sort to be cruel that way.  "If... if you're sure you don't mind, and if you don't rush me into something, I... I don't think I'd mind learning a bit," she said, her eyes focused down and her cheeks warm, afraid to look at him unless he was wearing a look that said, "Are you serious?  I was only kidding!" attitude, or worse yet, afraid she might see amusement in his eyes at how gullible she was.
