Eheheh... [A chuckle born of nerves more than any kind of humor found in that statement.] I... wouldn't much have enjoyed that. The vice thing. I guess that kind of thing's why you wanted to know if my powers worked on myself too...

[Composure. That takes a second or so to find.]

I won't look at you that way. It's a promise. Whether you're 'safe' or not, or half succubus or anything, you deserve more respect than that. And I should have had that in mind all along.

Thanks for being honest with me on the Why's and How's of this, too. I was thinking it might have been a God curse or something. It can't be easy to talk about, especially with someone you don't know too well and really owe nothing to.
