She smiles, the tension melting out of her shoulders. "Good. I - don't know everything I want, other than 'always being with you...'" A bit mischievously, glancing up, "Which is what experiments are for, I suppose."

"This is true."

"Do you - know what you want? To - add on, or change..."

"I want... you to be happy, more than anything else."

Giggle. "I want you to be happy, more than anything else."

"Suppose you'd better express some other preferences, then. I'm the older sister and I get to say where the recursion stops recursing."

Heee.

" - I want to kiss you. And I... Think I also don't really know a lot of what else we could be doing - like, what's even there for me to have preferences about... We could maybe ask our alts for ideas, but Ruby might take than as an invitation to make me blush..."

"You could ask Ellie. And I could ask Ruby."

She grins. "Sounds like that'd work well, yeah."

"In the meantime..." Fidget.

"...Kiss me?"

Let's try!

Bellona leans forward, giving El a light kiss on the lips, then giggles a bit.

Hee. Again!

Kiss!!! A bit more firmly, the hand not holding her cat ferret moving to cup El's face and then slide back into her hair.

Oh, hands are a good idea. Shoulder and... lower back?

Received positively, going by Bellona's small wiggle. She wraps her other arm around El's waist, still kissing her.

Yay!

Eventually they should probably stop to breathe.

Bellona rests her forehead on El's, grinning so much her cheeks hurt and giggling a bit still.

"Experiment the first: success."

"Resoundingly so! Kissing is a definite yes."

"We should make a list."

"Comprehensive notes are the key to all good experiments."

"As well as, mmm, replication..." Kiss!

Kiss!

"We need enough data points for meaningfully low uncertainty, after all - "

Another kiss.
