inclination (person)

^{A tendency towards another body or point- 1913 Webster's Unabridged Dictionary}

He asked if she was

so inclined, hoping she would understand the meaning

She tilted her head to one side, half smile with eyes blinking

from sunlight or while pondering a response

Oh, it's possible, she said demurely

pulling hair that was not in her face, behind her ears

Then reaching out to touch his sleeve, a small tug

as if to say- it's your move

^{I said, You are a lady}

^{"Perhaps," she said, "I may be"}
