Action1: Draw weapon, steel self for combat.

Reasoning1A: I'll never manage to complete my mission and deliver that message to the rulers of all the kingdoms if I'm burdened with a wife. The Order would be very disappointed with me for failing my mission AND marrying a mamono! Additionally, even if the transformation into an Incubus would rid me of my horrific rotting affliction, I have no idea how long it would take. I could succumb to disease, fail my mission, break an innocent(?) mamono's heart AND upset The Order before then! Truly, an unenviable position.

Reasoning1B: I need assistance agains the arcane. Attempting to parley with this thing, if successful, could temporarily grant me an ally-- but there are powerful users of magic in the Desert. I have to find some way to protect myself against them, and I doubt the aid of another physical fighter would do much in that regard.

Reasoning1C: Aren't we out in the open?! If her intentions are indeed sexual... Too dangerous!
