There is also going too far, he could have ruined her trust in him with that demand even if he claims/confesses it wasn't his true goal. It even made her cry...
@ShionVaynex even if he knew that, a lawful good person would never make the suggestion, nor would a neutral good person. Only a neutral neutral or neutral evil person would, in the context of their situation. The willingness and actually done deed of 'convincing' is what makes the alignment.
@wanfai sorry i wasnt clear.
my point was that he did not decline to evil because of a suggestion. it decline because he manipulated her. (also sell her horse, break his horn for money, lied that the horse said it was ok. stole the horse back by summoning magic. ect)
simply picking in terms of loss and profit doesnt make you evil.
