Confront Abigal

You want to quash this thing with Abigail before it gets out of hand. You saw the look in her eyes that day, and it could only mean trouble. After service one day, you hunt her down, waiting for her to go somewhere you could talk to her privately. Eventually you stop her in the middle of one of the town streets, abandoned for the moment.

"Abigail" you call out to her, "about the other day..." you start.

"Oh? What about it?" she interrupts sarcastically, starting to giggle.

You sigh. "When you saw me, in that state, well, I hope you can just forget about it" you say, resignedly.

"I'm sorry sir, but I don't think I could forget something like that" she says, now at full giggle. "Even, that is, if I wanted too." She isn't laughing now, just looking at you intently.

"Look, Abigail, you're a good girl from a good family. You shouldn't risk these things. Listen to the preacher, he knows what he's talking about. 'Do not lust' and so on. He words it a lot better, but still. It's unseemly"

"What's so unseemly?" she asks. "Isn't that just how men get sometimes? Why be so fussy over it? I know I'm not" she says, eyes darting discreetly to your groin.

You see Abigail turn her head, and you follow her gaze. A group of colonists are headed your way, interrupting your private talk.

"Why don't we continue this fascinating talk somewhere more secluded?" she says, with a wink.

"Abigail, please, if you'd just-"

"Meet me at the clearing just outside of town. Don't wait too long, I can't be late for supper" she says, bounding off. The girl really is impossible. You have to wonder if you've only made things worse. Still, you can't just ignore it either. At least this way you can maintain some sort of control of the situation. Right?
