Tycondrius observed Miss Coraline's reaction.
Her distress was obvious. Was it because she abhorred Lone's presence or... was she just... shy?
The physical signs to either were... similar.
He greatly hoped that he was identifying more nervousness than anger and outrage. The former was positive. The latter two turned his well-meaning wishes into sexual harassment.
Tycon did not consider himself a very good judge when it came to the feelings and fickle hearts of young ladies... He doubted anyone was.
His request to Coraline on Lone's behalf was, by its very nature, ambiguous-- its results, difficult to evaluate.
At its core, all he asked for was an open mind. Opinions are ever-changing... Further, he specified no time limit, nor a duration for her requested open-mindedness.
As the young lady seemed to be in a state of shock, Tycon decided to press his luck.
