Not only would he had died of embarishment but he would have likely lost his job, first by making such a foolish mistake and second for showering his affections on the woman in question.

No...no...in the end things were so much better the way they had turned out, especially when Elinor assured him that everything he had done or said had been more flattering of her then making her uncomfortable. Nigel managed a weak smile in response, taking a deep breath to recover the last of his struggling dignity.

"A blessing...seeing as I dont have the same history around you," the shopkeeper remarked finally looking back up at her or rather down at her as he slowly stood. "Not that that is anyway your fault...well maybe just a little." His uncertainty had always been first mostly about his past and then how he felt about her and how he felt around her.

Elinor said nothing as Nigel's expression changed at the mention of Valentina. Probably something she should just let go. She let him have a moment to his thoughts. A much-deserved moment.

She gave him a strange smile as he stood up, trying to decipher the meaning behind his statement. Nigel, when he was himself, was very affluent. Tht meant that some of the things he said sounded like riddles. "Perhaps," she said softly, following him with her eyes.

She took a deep breath in and sighed, shaking off the last of the lingering concern over what had happened. "Well, Nigel... Now that everything is... said and done," she smiled at her choice of words, "I think I owe you my word to never mention it again." No doubt he would be thankful for the gesture as he recovered from his embarassment.

Embarassment that was pretty much her fault.

"Is there something I can do for you?", she asked after a moment. It came out half-desperate, half very pitiful. Anything at all that could be done to make up for what had happened. After all, if she hadn't requested the potion, this never ever would have happened.
