Seeing his reaction to the thought that she might try to seduce him reminds me of a conversation I had with an old classmate. We were talking about a scene in a book where one character was trying to seduce the other.
Me: who even does this type of stuff anymore? It’s just a trope at this point.
Him: Actually no. Somebody actually tried to seduce me not too long ago.
Me: O...Kay? Uhhh...how did it go?
Him: It was wonderful.
