There’s still a strong "dislike" there, Arachne. Hang onto that.
She is losing her grip on it
Glon: "Would it help at all to point out that, if given any opportunity to say, observe you bathing from an unseen angle, there’s not the slightest question that I’d take full advantage of it?"
Arachne: "……………….Actually yes it does. Thanks…… you disgusting little pervert male!"
Glon: "Happy to be of service."
Not saying she *wouldn't* say that, but it would be massively hypocritical if she did. She's just as much a sucker for a pretty girl as he is, if not *more* so.
Arachne is conflicted. Glon is a man which her personality and training as Lolth’s favored Drow means he is inferior to her and worthy of her hatred. Then he pulls something like this and he shows that he is not only her equal, but her better for coming up with this bit of intrigue. This wounds her pride both as a Drow and as a card-carrying man-hater. At the same time, she can’t help but admire the simplicity and effectiveness of his plot. In effect, he just out plotted her and to her benefit. She’s still trying to process that. Hell, even Lolth herself approved of his plot. Lolth probably doesn’t know that it was a man and a non-Drow man at that who came up with it. But that approval also would weigh on Arachne’s perceptions. In short, this is new territory for her and she can’t compute.
Oh. Lolth knows. She always knows.
