She carefully added it to the potion and moved a bit so Fyo could stir the potion. It smelled absolutely intoxicating--she wanted to drink the whole cauldron! But no, she couldn't--she would embarrass herself.

"Soo...who's going to take the potion?" Lucy casually asked Fyo, not meeting his eyes.
Fyo had expected that. He nodded, watched her execute the sort-of-last step, then grabbed the stirrer and began to stir. It would take a little while for the potion to blend well, and he was glad of that.

The more time, the better.

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?
