Maybe she can tell what kind of things tempt her subject (in which case she was either teasing Tom about Mr Epitome or he's playing both ways), maybe she just listed Yuki because Tom had encountered her recently and was sure to have noticed her, maybe she was planting some seeds of temptation in for later. She's very good at what she does.
> I figured that Regret wouldn't have asked if Tom would have demonstrated some kind of attraction before - either he asked for it before or she noticed him looking at Yuki a lot.  Or maybe our board banner pic appeared in some magazine Tom is keeping around and thinks he's hiding from Regret.

But really, given the established hotness of Dancer, Sorceress, Yuki et al and Black's recent visit to the Lair Mansion, it's not too big a stretch for Regret to figure that Tom noticed them and was, y'know, male, hetro, and conscious.

Anyway, what Mumph and Vizh just did is akin to how Mumph tackled bullies way back at his schooldays. He put the dear of God into them and made them scared of him. Slaughter is going to behave himself for a while - at least when he thinks Mumph is watching.
