Ask Lord Ruairi if he thinks she's as beautiful as they say

From Create Your Own Story

You feel your cheeks warm with a blush. Who else would come to your room, after all? "A-and?"
He looks startled. "And what?"
You twist your hands together nervously in your lap. "Well... Is she- Am I..." This is harder to say than you thought it would be. "...as beautiful as they say?" You whisper the last.

He walks back to the edge of the bed and sits down. You tense as he looks you over speculatively. You know you're too tall. Plus, you have such bulky, unfeminine muscles. Surely he sees that.
"...No," he says finally.
"Oh." As you expected. You turn your head away, blinking rapidly. Stupid, stupid, question! you berate yourself.
Surprisingly gentle hands cup your cheek and turn you to look at him. His expression is serious. "I think she's better," he says.
You turn bright red at the compliment, shifting uncomfortably. He lets you push away his hand. Heated longing shows clearly in his eyes; your breath catches. Still... You feel like you probably shouldn't fall for such contrived lines. It reminds you of something Duran told you once: Expect yer opponent to use all tactics he has to defeat you, lass. Otherwise, yer gonna be caught off guard.
"You- you think?" you stammer, trying to stall so you have more time to decide whether he's trying to trick you somehow.
He smirks. "I think so," he says, "But I think... I'd have a better idea if that nightgown wasn't in the way."
