Good point, but, to bring it back to the one I was making, *Avon* didn't smile or blush.

I daresay Avon wouldn't blush if he was teleported out of his cabin onto the flight deeck while wearing nothing but Speedos, only to find Servalan, all the crew, and an assortment of Mutoids holding score cards. I was only answering the question *you asked*, "you don't *enjoy* embarrassment, do you, even probably?" Given the imaginary scenario I mentioned, if his scores were good, Avon might be happy about that, while at the same time offended at having his privacy intruded upon and embarrassed to be put on display. Being treated with undeserved appreciation, which is the real scenario faced by Avon in Deliverance and which I have also had in real life, one is easily torn between being enjoying it, being annoyed, and being embarrassed.

Yes, exactly. Which is a good explanation of the 'probably' line.

Yeah, but I bet he'd smile...

Given Avon's naturally cautious nature, I think the dominant emotion would probably be suspicion rather than embarrassment when confronted with a woman falling at his feet :). I attribute the "probably" line also to this particular character trait.
