M’quel relaxed into the hug, ducking her head against N’lis’ chest and wrapping her arms tightly around his waist. Despite – or perhaps because of – the words, the hug was needed. It reminded her she wasn’t alone, and that there were always people around that she could turn to. She didn’t cry, and she wasn’t angry at the moment anymore, either. The hug was just so needed that she soaked it up, and refused to let go even when N’lis took to talking once more. She could hear his heart pounding and it made her smile just a little as she listened to his words, her own heart climbing to somewhere in her throat.
“I would like that,” M’quel said softly, feeling a blush colour her cheeks at the idea of kisses – kisses with N’lis! – and she pressed her cheek to his chest, which felt cooler than the burning of her own skin. It was funny how kisses had her blushing but nuzzling against his naked chest didn’t. M’quel giggled softly as she leaned back just a little, looking up at N’lis with a small smile and bright eyes. “It’s probably not,” she agreed with a serious voice, but her smile didn’t diminish as she stood on tiptoe to press a promising kiss to N’lis’ cheek, nuzzling her face into the crook of his neck as she hugged him tightly once more.
Loosening her hold, M’quel stepped out of N’lis’ personal space – though she kept one hand in his own. “Thank you for being such a great friend,” she said honestly, scrunching her nose up slightly at herself. “And sorry I interrupted your bathtime.” Her expression broke back into a warm smile and she was torn between hugging N’lis again, and letting go of his hand. “I guess I should let you finish getting ready for class,” her face was a comical display of disgruntlement at that thought, but she knew it was true.
