Cade was speaking in hypotheticals, and then Zevran takes them, solidifies them, and presents them to him like a gift. Perhaps not an... entirely welcome gift, based on Cade's sudden expression of thinly-veiled horror. He's rendered speechless for several long moments, and his blush reaches all the way to his ears.
He doesn't flee, however. He just turns away, staring at the floor and huddled in the blanket, and is just.. silent, for several minutes. He has to consult the committees.
These include the Self-Loathing, Piety, and Crippling Insecurity committees, as well as a very small voice from the Okay But Let's Be Real You Kind Of Like It committee, which he is quick to suppress. The Dignity branch has lost a lot of standing in the past couple years, Unquestioning Obedience is all for it. The only dissenting voice is from the Panic Coalition, which noisily reminds him that this is the first time he's met this person, not just a man but a notorious philanderer, and Cade would essentially be putting his life and reputation in his hands.
