I assure you the feeling is mutual. [His reply is a bit snippy but it can't be helped.] And I will be fine. I'm able to control base instincts such as that. It's a necessity in my line of work.
[Arousal is an obnoxious unwanted bodily impulse but manageable. Illness is a far harder thing to overcome. No spy wants to be caught due to sneezing and coughing. If they've injected some sort of aphrodisiac into his body... he'll manage.]
And yes... I would prefer to just bleed to death. [He rests his back against the trunk breathing out slow. Where he blew himself up with magic still stings horribly. His arm also hurts... but it's still usable. He flexes his fingers just to be sure. He'll live.] Actually getting out of this tree you've so wisely put us in is my greater concern.
