[ Sharon finds comfort in the curl of Kalmiya's tails, in that sweet, familiar closeness that the other woman offers so freely. It's a gift that she'll accept over and over and over again, one she leans into, both physically and through the tether. A crackling fire beneath her green boughs.
The whole of her attention is on the other woman as she speaks, and when she opens her palm, Sharon immediately takes it, fingers curling around her hand. She is still adjusting to the nature of all relationships, still learning what means what, and how easily hearts can get broken. She worries her lower lip between her teeth, gaze dropping to Kalmiya's knees, to the way the striped fabric of her thigh highs presses into the soft pillow of her thighs. ]
I don't think there's anything that could happen between us that would make me need to move on from you. [ She finally says, her honesty raw. ] I mean, if you betrayed me, but... That's not something I'm worried about with you. [ With others, yes, but not Kalmiya. She is one of the few Sharon can't even imagine making a decision like that. ]
I'm just— [ and here, she laughs. ] I just don't want to fuck things up between us, that's all. You mean so damn much to me. [ She lifts their hands and presses her lips to the back of Kalmiya's knuckles to emphasize her points. Maybe she's just nervous, or maybe she thinks it's important Kalmiya knows just how important she is before they dive into this—that sex can't, and won't, change that. ]
[There is a tenderness at Kalmiya's end of the tether in the way the leaves of trees let in streams of the rising sun, painting everything inside of her warmer, softer. Such wholehearted trust from someone who has every reason to hold it back is one of the most precious things that can be given. That warmth paints her cheeks with a pleased flush as Sharon kisses her knuckles.
Gently, her free hand rises to brush a shock of blonde back from the side of Sharon's face, impressing quiet reassurance along the tips of her fingers and along the connection that links them.] You aren't going to fuck anything up. I know you aren't the betraying type, either.
Some things might change, but this won't change what's important. [A pluck, a thrum along the tether, an undeniable chord of love both given and accepted. Kalmiya is not naive; she knows that love cannot overcome everything, that there are certain things in this world that are simply irreconcilable. But in this, with Sharon, she believes it's enough.
Her assuring smile takes on a touch of playfulness.] I'm excited to see where it goes.
[ Kalmiya's reassurance—soft, steady, threaded through with that unwavering trust—eases something tight in Sharon's chest. The worries don't vanish entirely; they linger like a stray ant in the kitchen, small but persistent. Still, she chooses to believe Kalmiya over them. To let that warmth drown out the quiet insistence of doubt. This won't change what's important.
When Kalmiya's smile tilts into something more playful, Sharon feels her own answering it without hesitation. She lets go of the last fragile grip she has on her anxiety, head dipping in a shy sort of surrender. Her heart beats on, a steady, nervous beat, her hand still wrapped around Kalmiya's, the touch easy and familiar. ] So... [ She starts, a hint of curiosity threading through her voice. ] What does Kalmiya Longwillow enjoy?
[ She shifts a little closer, thumb brushing absent patterns against the back of Kalmiya's hand. ] I'm still new to all of this, so I'm kind of... open to exploration. [ She has few sexual preferences thus far. She's here for the connection—for exploring something like this with someone she knows she loves and trusts completely. ]
