Lothor was incredibly sensual, and his magic made me want things that I shouldn't want. Absorbing the nature of a succubus didn't help, nor does the taint in my blood and on my soul.
Sam, I don't want you to think that you have led me on in any way. You haven't. But I've felt a kinship with you, because of our similar experiences, and because you were the first to befriend me in a strange place. And perhaps also because Aching Silver feels the pull of your aura and would take you in proxy, should anything ever happen to me. I have nothing to blame but my own weakness.
