( She knew the right thing to do was to pull away, reject him, to make this a lot easier for the two. This wasn't the first she's held someone's hand, it was a simple action, really. One she didn't think too much on, but why his hand holding made light butterflies flutter under her ribcage.

Feeling his thumb playing with her own, the gesture being a little more intimate than she's used to with friends. She couldn't help but let out a light, airy laugh at his words. To her, her hands were normal but it wasn't until moments like now she realizes how much smaller they were compared to others. )

Well lucky for you it doesn't have a reason to fly at your face right now.

( However, she can see him scooch closer and she felt her heart beat quicken just a bit... Out of nervousness right? Not because of some deeper feelings of... affection... No, no, but why when she looked up at him in surprise, she can see a shine that almost threw her off guard in his eyes. It wasn't like his amusement kind of glow.

Did she distrust and despise him as much as she does Signora or Dottore? No, but she isn't sure if she should let what she thinks is building up to happen. Turning her face away again, she tried to speak up again, she didn't know what would happen and she can't hurt him. )

I don't know if this is a good idea anymore...

( So why haven't you let go of his hand and move away, Lumine? )
