[All that’s available to her in this position is his neck, so she presses a soft kiss to his skin there. Her grip on him a bit looser, more relaxed than before. She stays put, resting in his warm embrace until her heart rate’s come back down to baseline and she doesn’t feel like hiding beneath a rock somewhere. It takes a bit.
Wendy’s better now. But even if she isn’t, she wants to make him believe she is. Her arms give August a squeeze of a hug before she slowly, carefully pulls away from him. She wipes at her eyes and face with her hand, but the tears end up soaking into his coat sleeve more. It’s oversized on her, the sleeve getting in the way.]
I uh - don’t have much experience, no. Sometimes I’d visit Zoo, but observing specimens in enclosures hardly counts.
