Yes. But Johnicholas's question was not about why Ilyssa reacted to what Eric actually said as she did, but about why she'd be revolted at "an offer of sex 20 moves ahead". My idea was that it's just considered far too early to bring it up; her ability to see things that have not been actually brought up as on the table anyway is causing her interpretation issues.
but about why she'd be revolted at "an offer of sex 20 moves ahead"
My point was that I don't think she would be, or was. So the Johnicholas's question seems way overly hypothetical. Ilyssa's question to me seems to be purely hypothetical.
Actually, now that I think about it, maybe Johnicholas realized her question was purely hypothetical, and was just interested in her hypothetical reasons for feeling that way, which would be just fine with me.
