They arrived at the lake and he turned to look Korono full in the eyes.  He saw the hesitation, and wondered what Lugoj could have said that set her in such a mood.  He was not an idiot though, and he noticed himself that he could still smell the pixie.  His eyes softened a bit, not feeling any shame for the act, as he had protected the Pixie's honor and wouldn't have slept with her while things were so up in the air right now anyway.  He smiled gently.  "Well, knowing you my dear, you probably think that because you can smell the pixie on me that I've made a decision not to mate you.  It's been a long time, but I hope you know that I am one with honor, and before the pixie passed out drunk, I had rebuffed her alcohol induced advances.  The gremlins were there, and you can ask them if you feel that I am indeed untrustworthy."<br/><br/>His tail twitched in agitation.  He could feel the traces of her emotions, which was part of why he had guessed that Vivian was part of the issue here.  He hoped she could feel his sincerity at that as well.  The bonding that had happened between them was deeper than random meetings of strangers in the Inn.
