It was hard listening to Rocky, because Lyle knew that even though she sounded like she was trying to be joking, she'd heard all that before. Propping himself up on his elbows (and inevitably shifting Rocky downward a bit), Lyle looked at the demon with a serious expression. "You wanna know the real reason I won't sleep with you?" he asked her. "I don't want to become another regret. Because the truth is that yes, I do think of you like a sister, hell more like a brother than my actual brother sometimes. And even if I were attracted to you like I'd need to be, I'm not in any kind of position for a real relationship. And you say that you can do friends with benefits, that you like something casual, but you don't. You can't do it. I mean... I'm glad shit with Vinnie settled out and it's not weird but you can't just have sex and then be cool with it, you attach it to something deeper. You demand more. And that's awesome, Rocky. You should be with someone because you like them on a deeper level. But you keep throwing yourself at people who won't give you that and I refuse to be one more on the list."
