It's subtle, that one little step, but she recognizes it for what it is. He had been openly accepting of her affections and drank them up but had never really quite instigated them himself, before. It's show enough he wants closer, quicker, and once she's sure he's far more solid than the VR ever promised of them—
Is it any surprise they slip out from beneath his hands keeping hers in place to nuzzle soft palms to instead circle his neck? The man deserves a hug; she's missed him. One of her first friends in this place who was gone just as quickly. Her nails are in short brown hair and she's meeting him in that affection, now, with the rub of her cheek to his and the flattening of her front to him.
"I could say the same of you; I suppose I provide them all the chroma they could ever need. Though it seems to be at random, so I shouldn't joke about that. How are you...? It's been... Six, seven months."
And she's not letting go any time soon. Rather, she's turning to press a lingering kiss to his cheek before pressing back in, giving him a good little squeeze as her other hand soothes down between his shoulderblades, fond.
LEAPS!!!!
