Because he did not want to drink this potion.

It smelled of fresh flowers, and wet mud, and things he loved too much for words and, much as he wanted to empty the contents of the entire cauldron, Fyo knew he could not -- and then Lucy asked THE question, and he almost bit his lip. It would be highly ungentlemanly to tell her to drink the potion but he knew, too, that he did not want to test it himself.

"I... don't know," he said finally, looking up at her. "I ... I guess I will." Oh my... had he really said that? But he couldn't ask her... he really couldn't! Fyo had... never been the type. Girls were... GIRLS.

There was the "respect" factor, right?

Lucy was watching Fyo as the wheels turned in his head. She could tell that he REALLY didn't want to take the potion, and she felt really bad putting him on the spot.

Glancing over at Carter and Marilyn, though, Lucy got an idea.

"Hey--why don't we both take the potion? Like them!" She said, pointing to Carter and Marilyn.

"I mean, we both have to test it out, right? And, it'll be fair if we both take it--then no one will be blamed for being a coward," Lucy said with a giggle.

She hoped she didn't act as crazy as Carter--he was putting on quite a show!
