This was... maybe... this was taking it a bit far, wasn't it? Actually... actually touching her. He knew that he was wearing gloves, and that, technically, there was no risk. In fact, he knew that in a physical sense, there was no risk at all. He had shaken Kennedy's hand, he had patted Lynn on the back. Those apprehensive gestures of friendship had become the norm, for him.
But... with Kira, it wasn't the same, was it?
Had Lynn been right?
He pushed the thought away, again. It was getting harder to do it; he could tell. He'd have to think about it later. Soon.
That'd be fun.
"All right," he said, meaning to go on, but words abandoned him. Instead, he took a steadying breath, raised his hand, and prepared to do this gently. He had to do it gently, or he could -
If he kept thinking like this, he'd never get it over with.
So, heart racing, he let his hand swing forward and waited for the (gentle, gentle, gentle!) thud of her palm against his.
