[ Even when it's not touching him, the sensation is still the same as when there was contact. Even stranger yet, he finds himself welcoming it, even if he had just freaked out about it ten seconds ago. With nothing but her hand in front of his face, he's reminded of sea otters and how they know what it's like to be alone. Maybe they know that it feels good to be with someone else. To be close like that.
And if Cerealia is like a current, then he doesn't want to close his eyes and drift away from this otter.
It sure would be nice to look at her again, though! This uncertainty of this Thing makes him nervous, as if there's a part 2 that he's not prepared for. On the bright side, at least her hand is near his face and not near his heart, though he still has to wonder if she can hear it. He certainly can! It's about all he can hear in this moment. But he does eventually take the initiative once again, carefully nudging her hand away by the wrist as he peers around, meeting her eyes. ]
...A-Are you gonna do that every time I talk too much? Am I even allowed to say anything now? Ahaha...
[ ...and now he hides his face behind her hand again. ]
