In the end, Mag was still the first one to back down.
Just as he was about to make contact with the alluring mounds on her chest, Mag withdrew his hand like lightning.
She wasn't playing by the rules!
Even though Mag wasn't an extremely uptight or traditional man, he was a person with a moral compass, and he had his boundaries.
"Look at your stupid face! You haven't changed at all, even after all these years." Irina burst into tinkling laughter at the sight of Mag's slightly overwhelmed expression as if she were seeing something downright hilarious.
Mag looked at Irina with a hint of emotional turmoil in his heart.
He had inherited all of Alex's memories, but he still couldn't completely allow himself to be Alex and accept Irina.
All of Alex's memories about Irina had been wiped away, so to him, she was just an elven woman whom he'd only known for two days.
