It's okay if you don't. My point is, you didn't tell her that your feelings are complicated, did you? You just told her about the wine.

[He doesn't need to ask. Of course Cor didn't admit to his emotions, or any turmoil they were in. He mentioned the wine and probably apologized, and then Honerva fled, and they both went to be confused and upset by themselves.]

Think about what kind of message knowing only that one piece of information sends to someone who's already upset. It says "I'm not the one who wanted to kiss you. The wine wanted to kiss you. I don't want you. I don't have any feelings for you. I was forced into this. I had no control over myself. That's not what's really in my heart."

It might not be logical, or true, but that's probably where her mind immediately jumped to.
